Some things in Bulk Edit are not possible and you may have to do them one at a time.  I had to do it with 500 items before because the only way to check Relist up to Seven times is was available as a Bulk Edit function.

 

If size is not available in the drop down menu than that will be a lot of work.

 

It is too completed for me but there is a way to down load all your listing into maybe a CVS Spread Sheet and then delete the column of information an then upload it all again.

I don't believe you can do this with the bulk editor.  But lets see if there is anything else that might help you with this HUGE job.

You don't HAVE to delete that size, it will just show up as OOS in the selection drop down.

I think they needed to make sure that this particular size is showing a zero balance.  So editing the listings is likely the only option.

Re: Bulk edit of Variations

Ah, they're using a "print on demand' type of thing?

 

Then do it on the hub under active listings and click on the variations under each listing and use the 'pencil' to mark them as zero qty.

 

Yes, it's still one at a time, but a lot faster than revising each listing.

Re: Bulk edit of Variations

eBay does not supply variation listings with a "pencil" for quick editing.

Well that's odd considering I use it all the time to change qty on variations. = )

Hey @mam98031 you are correct.  Unfortunately there is not currently an option within the bulk editor to change those variations.  However, as @toomuchstuffagain35 pointed out, as long as the available quantities were up to date and show zero, no adjustments need to made to the listings at all.  

Kyle,

Re: Bulk edit of Variations

Could you please take a screenshot of the quick edit pencil by a variations listing for quantity? Because eBay doesn't give me a pencil and I would really like one.

Re: Bulk edit of Variations

Go to your active listings and find a variation listing. Click on where it says (10 variations) or whatever and click that. That will take you to the screen with the pencil for the variations on that listing.

 

Right now I don't have any MV listings to take a shot of. Sorry

Re: Bulk edit of Variations

Unfortunately that won't work for this OP as it seems they are running print on demand and they no longer have stock of a particular size tshirt, so they need to delete that size variation.

Ah ha! I never clicked on # of variations before. Awesome!

 

Thank you for the pencils!

You're welcome.

 

With ebay you learn to click on everything (at least once), although that in itself can also lead to "unintended consequences".

Re: Bulk edit of Variations

True. I've always just kind of glossed over the (#variations) because I knew how many there were and didn't think there was options.

Yes,  don't enroll in anything!
