Dont think it is possible to do variations for Auctions

Re: Man I need some help! Trying to start an auction with variations

These are the things I have discovered through experience with multi-variations:

 

1. They only work with certain categories.

2. They don't work on auctions, only Buy It Now.

3. Start a completely new listing. Don't open a previous listing and then use "sell similar" or "resell". The listing has to start completely from scratch.

4. If you are working with a multi-variation listing and it is giving you trouble, just cancel the thing and start again from scratch, making as few corrections as possible as you are listing.

5. After the sale, and this is very important, the thing you sold sometimes (often) shows back up for sale right along with the other things that did not sell. So every time you relist a multi-variation listing, manually check to make sure the things you already sold don't pop up again on the next relist.

6. It gets easier the 2nd and 3rd time. Don't give up, it's worth it.

Thanks for the info . this is my main account. I have many listings with variations and never had any trouble until tonight. Im afraid this will really hurt my sales if i cant get this figured out. I tried under the other accoumt dollarcardstore anfd it wouldnt work there either. I only have 10 listings there and i figured it was something to do with this active content thing. But i doubt it with only 10 listings

After this message, I saw another post about the problem happening to them too and they sell sports cards. So if you are also selling sports cards, your issue may be related to their issue. Maybe it is something ebay is working on and will resolve itself soon.

@dollarcardstore

Here is a similar problem for variations in the Sports Card category.
