New to EBay - Need Help with Variations

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you guys are doing well. 

 

As mentioned, I am new in this Ebay world and trying to add a listing that is properly optimized and has all the information that Users can go-through. 

 

So, I am sure you guys have answered this question many time but I have searched online, checked YouTube and tried everything but in my listing Variation / Dropdown is not getting enabled. Is there something I am doing wrong or missing something? 

Here is the reference image what I am trying to do but unsuccessful.

The variations option is not available in all categories. And to make it show up you have to start a  fixed price (not auction-format) listing.  

 

You might need to turn on this option: Look in the upper-right corner of your listing form and click on the 3 dots.  Then select "Settings" to turn on the variations option.  If it doesn't show up in Settings, then either you're in auction format or you have chosen a category where variations isn't available.  

 

IIRC there are also two versions of the listing form, and variations might not show up if you're using the basic version  so you might need to switch to the advanced (business) version.

Do you have more than one size with the jacket you have listed? You do realize that your price is about double as to what others are charging, if not more? High over priced items tend to sit for a long time, especially when other sellers are selling the same thing for a much less expensive price.   You also don't specify the measurements of the jacket (very important).   Are you drop shipping? If you are you better make sure you have what you need in the sizes you post for sale. 

 

Your listing needs a lot of work and you should really think about lowering your price a lot.  You may want to do some more reading about ebay, as you have a lot to learn.  You have no where for a customer to choose what size they would like to pruchase.  That absolutely needs to be in your variations.  

 

I wish you good luck because you're going to need it.  You need to fix up this listing quickly.  I see problems arising along with NAD cases.

I believe you need a business Ebay Account to have the option of variant listings.  Check to see if it's a requirement.

No, you don't.

 

As another said, they are not available in all categories, AND you have to start a listing from scratch in those where they are.
