Creating "Variations" adds the drop-down box on your listing so buyers can pick an option, piece, size, or color. You can have a different price and quantity for each variation.

Getting to Variations the first time takes several very specific steps.

This is a long message. Follow step by step and you will get there. Ask questions if you get stuck.

1) To add different options/sizes/colors to one listing (Variations) you need to use the "New Listing Tool" on the website

-- Neither Mobile App nor the website "Quick Listing Tool" will allow variations

2) Not all eBay categories support variation listings. (Some categories of Collectibles, Antiques, eBay Motors, and Business & Industrial do not allow variations).

Very important steps [if you don't do these first, steps 6-8 will not work]

3) Start a brand-new listing (don't try to revise an existing Active listing, don't use a "matching" product, don't use a listing template)
4) Add a Title and a Category
5) Make it a Fixed Price listing (Choose "Buy It Now" in "Format" and Turn OFF "Allow Offers")

Then, you will be able to find variations this way:

6) Click the " ︙ 3 dots" in the upper right-hand corner
7) Select Settings
8 ) Turn On the Switch for Variations
(if you skip the earlier steps, this switch will not be here)

9) You will now be able to find the "Edit" Pencil for Variations below "Item Specifics" and above "Description" on the right.

- It must be a NEW listing, not a listing that is already live
- You must use the "New Listing Tool" with ︙ 3 dots in the upper right.
- It must be in a category that supports variations.
- It must be a fixed-price listing.

-- Here is a webpage where you will be able to find more information about Variations https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/creating-listings-variations?i...

==>> Tip:
For your attributes, + Add a phrase like
Item Size
Item Color
Shirt Size
Shirt Color
Name of Player
Type of Item
Title of Book

==>> Tip: Preview will show your Attribute boxes, but the drop-down options are not functional until you list it.

If you get stuck, please let me know so I can clarify.
