How do I connect with ebay developers to add a selling functionality?

In many categories, ebay allows variations within a listing - but not all categories (why?).

I am trying to list some snowmobile clutching parts in ebay motors.

In this particular category, there is no "Variations" button.

But - there ARE parts where it would be much simpler to list variations.

For example: The rate of various clutch springs, or the grams of various clutch weights.

As ebay is set up right now, I have to list each spring and each weight / weight set one at a time.

This is not efficient for me - or the buyers.

(I think they limit variations because there is a notion that each part is specific to individual vehicles. But that is incorrect - as there are many snowmobiles using the same clutch, and riders/racers like to tweak their performance with different springs & weights for that clutch).

Why not just have the "Variations" button available in ALL categories, and let the sellers & buyers decide what would make the most sense for the listings?

You will not be able to connect with eBay developers to give them advice about adding features. In a company like eBay, there is a whole level of management that identifies, designs, and prioritizes features.

 

And the decision to add or change a feature generally requires a business reason that includes a cost/benefit analysis.

No one here knows why eBay chose not to offer variation listings in the category you wish they did.
