Variations help please

[spaulmeek]

I have a few questions about variations. Below is a screen shot of as far as I got. First, what I'm selling . A couple hundred blue Oxford shirts. One model, one color. Then there are sizes; XXS,XS,S,M,L,XL,2XL,3XL4XL and 5XL. Each size has 2 or 3 sleeve lengths. So for my first question. Is size an attribute? Am I on the right track, or already derailed? I think I might be derailed as I can only enter 5 sizes, the max # of attributes. Max of 5? (What do shoe sellers do?) This doesn't seem right, which leads me to think I'm not on track. If so, then I'll make 2 listings.

Thank you for your time

You look like you're understanding how to.....

but the 5 limit on the "Variation Attribute" can be a problem. You can have a lot of "options" but that limit on the attribute will be troublesome.

Unless maybe  you make the single attribute "Shirt Type" --- display reads [ Blue Oxford ]

then the options of "Size | Sleeve Length" --- display reads

[  XXS | Sleeve-22" ] 

[ XXS  | Sleeve-23" ]

[ XXS  | Sleeve-24"]

[ XS  |  Sleeve-22"  ]

...and so on

there are 240 some combination that way (max)

I dunno..just thinking out loud
