Hi all,
I would like to create listings that have multiple items in them, but looking at the help sections made me even more confused. Every way they listed to do it, is not available to me. Can anyone tell me the process in a way that a 3rd grader can understand?

@cjscardsgf Are the items identical that you have a quantity of OR are they different sizes, colors etc..?
If they are different sizes, etc... Then that's called a variation listing.
You can not revise an existing listing to add variations.
Variations are not available in all categories. If you do not see the variation option after trying these steps please reply back with what the item is you are trying to list.
To create a variation listing you will need to use the new listing tool while working from your computer. The new listing tool can be accessed through Seller Hub.
To access Seller Hub:
1. Go to https://www.ebay.com/sh/landing
2. Click Start Using Seller Hub
3. Then, go here to your active listings page:
https://www.ebay.com/sh/lst/active and click the blue Create listing button near the top, right-hand side of the page.
Variations can only be created when using the Buy It Now format. When using the new listing tool, in the pricing section make sure you have selected the Buy It Now format.
If you do not see the variations option, click on the 3 dots on the upper right-hand side of the listing form, then select Settings (gear icon) and click on the variations toggle so it turns blue.
Here is a link with information regarding creating variation listings:
Please note: The Variation Attribute name cannot be the same as eBay's default item specifics.
You may also want to set up a calculated or flat shipping rule in your account settings so that your buyers pay the correct shipping for additional items when they purchase more than one from your listing.
Offer combined shipping and set up your shipping rule here:
On the listing form, select use my shipping rule after you set up the shipping for a single item purchase.

@cjscardsgf Make sure that your category is singles for the cards.
You may not be able to list as many due to listing limits.
You can see your limits on this page under monthly limits, it's towards the bottom: https://www.ebay.com/sh/allselling/listings?
EDIT TO ADD>>
You selected Multiple listings? That's not what you need to do. You want VARIATIONS.
Just select create listing> single listing. Then follow the steps I gave.
You can also see the steps with screen shots on this page>
Ignore that the currency is different in the example.

so right now I have a little over 1,000 listings available, but I can only upload 24 photos?

@cjscardsgf You are not following the steps..... Create listing> single listing> Variations is then down on the listing page just after the item specifics section. Click edit next to that to start your variation listing. Then you can add photos for each variation.
The link I shared that has screen shots that will help you.

Your listing limits are not the problem. The problem is you are missing the steps.

ok so i am following the guide in the link, but I see nothing about variations... I search for the general item, then continue without match, then it just takes me to the listing page for one single item

i dont know where the listing description page is
07-08-2023 07:37 PM
ok so i have managed to find the variations. Do I just add each card as a separate variation?
