As far as I know there isn't. But I don't know much about other ways to revise listings other than the normal revision page or bulk edit pages. I know there's stuff like Turbo Lister, File Exchange, 3rd Party revising, etc.

But do any of those allow you to totally remove variations on an existing listing when that variation already made a sale? I'm cleaning up my Velcro caps listings... They all used to have the pulldown menu "Type: Adjustable Velcro Strap". When Velcro hit my listings way back, ebay agreed to let me keep the listings but add Type: Adjustable Strap and just put the Velcro one out of stock so it's not searchable. But from time to time I get buyers asking when I will get the "velcro" one back in stock, not knowing the "adjustable strap" is in fact the velcro.

I really don't want to end and relist the listing because some of these listings have over thousands of sales in the purchase history and is on top of the best match results.

Been there buddy and I really wish I could say yes.

You cannot edit the name of a variation. You cannot remove a variation if that variation has any sales history.

No offense but I want to give a thumbs down to that answer, haha. Thanks alot ebay!!!

I wonder if this function will EVER be available in the future. I remember a time that ebay didn't allow you to revise listing description for a listing that made sales. That limitation has long passed.
