Here is a link that I keep handy in order to be able to create a variation listing.  Do not do them often enough to remember "how"!

How to Create Listings with Variations (ebay.com)

Good luck!

I have heard multiple clothing sellers on youtube say NOT to use variation listings, to list every style and size separately.

I know I personally won't ever click on a variation listing as a customer.

A few notes to help you out @odies-attic.

1. Each "saying" should be in a different listing, then within that listing you can create variations for size/color.

2. The shirts with profanity like the F word will need to be censored in your main search image. Policy LINK

3. You cannot tell people to find you on instagram. Anything that looks like you're taking sales off eBay is a good way to get suspended forever. Policy LINK

4. You will need to take down your current listing. "Choice" listings are not allowed. Policy LINK

5. Here is eBay's help page for creating variation listings: LINK

6. Here is a great tutorial created by eBay sellers, led by @shipscript. LINK

       Disclaimer: the instructions are for the advanced/business tool, not the new unified listing tool.

7. Variation listings cannot be created on the app. There are a lot of functions on the website not supported by the app.

Why would you not click on a variation listing?  It’s much easier to find a size or color in a variation listing rather than scrolling through listing after listing of different sizes and colors.

Do not suggest that buyers check your stuff out on another site (rule #13) whether you sell there or not. I'd remove that from your listing. Good luck~

Set up a variation listing

Remove that bit about visit your Instagram for more shirts.....can't lead someone to another website

The different sayings i would group them together.

Then use variations for the sizes and colors.

For example:

Texas flag t-shirt

Variations:

Red (small)

Red (medium)

Red (large)

White (small)

White (medium)

White (large)

Blue (small)

Blue (medium)

Blue (large)

It can be daunting learning to do variations listings but once you get the hang of it it's a piece of cake.  Come back if you need help.

Why would you want to cram all your different tee shirt sayings into a single listing?

I would think you would want to separate them so each listing title could be more searchable and give an indication of what the tee shirt is about.

If my sister loves coffee, I'm not going to search "funny tee shirts" and sift thought thousands of listings for the ones about coffee. I'd going to search for "funny coffee tee shirts".

I largely ignore variation listings because that is basically going from the search screen to a second search screen that often doesn't have what I am looking for. If I want a 3XL Tiger shirt I am likely to just search for 3XL tiger shirt and pick from the direct results and not waste me time clicking through to variation listings just to see that they are out of 3XL, or out of Tigers, or the 3XL tiger variant has a terrible price.

I sell trading cards and I regular sell cards for $1.99 or 2.99 that other sellers have tucked back in a variation listing for 99 cents.

You are welcome.  That link has one of the easiest step by step follow instructions I have found.  Don't remember who shared it, but I bookmarked it and refer to it when I need to do one.

Good luck with your variation listings!
