If you have multiple variations of an item, then you can list them using the “Multi Variation” listing style.
For example – A Kurta of the same brand can come in various colours and sizes. Why would you want to waste time in creating multiple listing when all those variations can be offered under one listing?
Some of the benefits of creating a Multi Variation listing are that it:
- Saves time by creating 1 listing for many items;
- Saves money on insertion fees;
- Manages inventory within the listings;
- Prices each variation separately; and
- Is a great way to cross sell items
When creating a Multiple Variation listing you will have the option to add a maximum of 5 variations and up to 60 values for each of those variations. Maximum you can have up to 250 variations in a single listing for no additional fee! And you can add 12 photos for each variation – at no additional cost.
For example, if you're selling handbags, your 5 variation types could be color, size, width, material, and style. Each of those variations can have up to 60 values e.g. 60 different colors, 60 different sizes and so forth.
If you would like to use the “Adding Variations” option with your listings, you should:
- Select the right product category - if the category allows variations, you will see an option to “list with variations”
- Select each applicable variation from the options shown or create your own
- Add photos (We recommend including at least 1 image for each variation)
- Enter the price and quantity for each variation
Do note that Multiple Variation listings are only available under the “Fixed Price Listing” style.
We hope that the above tips help you understand multi-variation listings a little more.
