Hey, just discovered that ebay allows sellers to post bundles. Since I already have several listed in an awkward manner, I was excited.
Unfortunately, I do not seem to be getting the "bundle options" or selection criteria when creating a new listing.
Yes, I have read ebay guidance here:
https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/listing-and-marketing/product-based-shopping-experience.html#m2...
How do I list bundles (listings that include multiple products in one offer)?
In order to effectively display a bundle offer to buyers, we need to know how it differs from the product it is associated with in the eBay catalog. By letting us know you are selling a bundle, we may be able to present your listing to buyers as a better value.
The same listing rules apply to bundle listings as regular listings, but you need to include a few more details for bundle listings. When you list a bundle (e.g., smart phone + case + screen protector), follow these simple rules:
- Pick one of the products in the bundle as the "primary" product, then search for and select that product in the eBay catalog when you create your listing.
- Select "Bundle Listing = Yes" in the "Listing Specifics" section.
- Fill out the related "Listing Specific," called "Bundle Details," by describing what you're including in your bundle. There are no formatting restrictions, but we recommend you separate each product in the bundle with a comma.
- Multi-SKU listings will not support bundles.
Also I found this discussion on the community forum:

Of course some indignant poster, posted a screen shot and was amazed at why one could not see the areas highlighted. Well, in my case, those highlighted areas DO NOT EXIST!!!
Also, I note trinton@ebay commented and offered to research the issue. Love to see some clarification.
I have done the following:
1. Listed the ISBN number on the first line of listing input template. Added the word "bundle" on the same line.
2. Selected the book from the ebay catalog.
3. Searched & poured over the "Listing Specifics" section trying to find the "Bundle Listing" item to check so the other sections appear.
Second I did this:
A. Listed the title of the book on the first line of listing input template. Added the word "bundle" on the same line
B. Selected the book from the ebay catalog.
C. Searched & poured over the "Listing Specifics" section trying to find the "Bundle Listing" item to check so the other sections appear.
Third I tried this:
i. Placed "book bundle" on that title/subject line
ii. Selected a book category
iii. Searched & poured over the "Listing Specifics" section trying to find the "Bundle Listing" item to check so the other sections appear.
Fourth, I tried editing one of my listings that is in fact a bundle. Added "bundle" to the title and nothing changed, same results as above.
So what am I doing wrong?
Are bundles only available in certain selling categories? If so where are those categories listed?
Are there limits on who can sell or offer a bundle? If so where are those restrictions listed?
Hopefully some one can answer these three questions?
