Selling with a drop down option

I have a very large board game collection and I've seen some sellers use a drop down menu for people to bid/buy items. Is this something only for store owners? If not, is there a tutorial somewhere showing how to set this up?

Thanks

 I would avoid it. Can lead to buyer confusion and returns.

I am not sure if there is a tutorial...but you implement it in 'create listing' .......

It only is available in certain categories, of which I am not certain.....IF it is available the create listing page will appear right under categories (about 5 lines down)

Variations

If you sell multiple variations of your item, you can list all of them in one multi-quantity, fixed-price listing. This saves you time and money.
 
Click the variations box/link, and it is pretty self explanatory from there...add item/variation/ select picture/ add price/ publish
 
remember, it is not available in all categories

It's called Multi Variation Listings (MV Listings). Look into that if you want. I believe some product categories aren't eligible for MV Listings.

I linked a tutorial below- but I wouldn't use it for board games unless they're brand new/sealed and different variations of the same game. Putting totally different board games in a variation listing is a violation of eBay policy.

I would only use variations to sell board games if they were all brand new.  Monopoly, Risk, Clue, Mouse trap "brand new in sealed box". 

 

I assume they are not. Because they are not, i would list them separately.  Each board game would need to be described accurately.  Missing a piece, Box slightly damaged, Missing instructions, etc. 

 

Good luck and stay safe!

Thank you all

 

It's a the core boardgame and it's multiple expansions. Not new, but used. Maybe it's best I just list individual lots

If they were new I would list the core game in one listing and all the expansions in a separate variation listing. Since they're used, separate listings for all is the best way to go.
