I am trying to find someone who can take me step by to create a report to revise the variations in my listing. I have a large number of listings in different categories. I am constantly having to revise my listings to meet Ebay's ever changing acceptable variation names.
I would appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.

It generated a report that showed failure.

Can you download the report and send it to me?
Or download the report, change the filetype suffix to ".txt", and then open with a text editor to paste it here?

It says the Franchise Specific is missing. I was sure I put it on there

Since it's missing, you'll need to recreate the file and do it again.

I just sent you an email with the error message I received when I ran the report again this morning.

The item specific C:Franchise is missing and C:Graded is missing
Here is the link to populate those in the tool.
also:
Error - Variation specific name {0} used for pictures does not exist in variation specific set.
I believe we see this missing picture issue when a variation has been manually deleted. It has been hard to figure out what it might be when it doesn't appear in the listing. I see a picture for Croakin COLIN and for Lizard LOU, but no variations for those names.
It looks like I will need to purge those from the report and email the file.

I've sent the file via email, but, as I recall, you may have issues saving. It may try to open instead, and we don't want that. Please let me know.

How to find your category numbers:
When using the search feature to view a list of items, the each link in the sidebar navigation will contain the category number.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=tackyt65
In the screenshot below, just hovering the link in the left menu will expose the URL somewhere (it's at the bottom in my browser). After you click the link, the URL will be displayed in the top address bar of the browser. The category number can be found in that URL immediately after "sch/".
