Trouble with variations.

So I'm trying to sell phone cases. I have different variations for color and model phone. This however leaves me with 100+ variations. Is there a way I can just have the color as a variation and the phone model as something seperate that you choose? Thanks.

Nope.   Only "choosing" that's possible is from either a quantity desired or drop-down list of variations.

 

So, either you'll have to create all 100 variations inside of one listing which not only would be a pain in the bu&& but also probably very confusing for buyers.   Who wants to wade through a list that long?

 

If it were me, I probably would create one listing for each phone model.  Then, within the listing create/add the color variations that are available for that model. 

 

 Yes, that means you will have to create a separate listing for each phone model and then create/add the appropriate color variations within each listing, but at least that way, you can get something up on eBay for sale while you're working on your other listings.
