- Hi guys, Neil Waterhouse.
This week's video is a step by step showing
how to add variations to your eBay listings.
If anybody's new to this channel my name's Neil Waterhouse.
I've been selling an eBay for 23 years
and I'm the author of
Million Dollar eBay Business From Home.
So let's launch straight into it.
So just we're on the same page,
here's an example of an eBay multi variation listing
selling T-shirts.
Notice that with this multi variation listing
you can select the size and the color of the T-shirts.
That's an eBay multi variation listing
and this video shows you how to set it up.
So let's get started.
For this demonstration, I'll create a brand new listing
and to do that click on the cell button
at the top of any page on eBay.
Then Create Listing then Single Listing,
then search for the correct category
for whatever you're going to list.
For this example, I'll choose Men's T-shirts.
Notice as I type eBay automatically shows
what it believes, with a relevant category.
One of the suggestions is Men's T-shirts, which is correct.
So, I'll select that category.
Next eBay makes product suggestions based on popular items.
But if the item that you're selling
is not one of the suggested items,
then just scroll to the bottom of the page
and select Continue without selecting a product.
Now, eBay takes me to the listing description page
where you can enter all the details
about the item that you're selling.
Notice on this page, there's a variations button.
Now, if you're not seeing the variations button
this is normally because of one of two reasons.
The first reason is that
in some countries you must have an eBay store
for the variations button to show.
If you don't currently have an eBay store,
the variations button will not show
if you're in one of those countries.
Now, if you don't have an eBay store,
if you'd like to know when and how to set up an eBay store
I'll put a link on the screen and below
to a previous week's video, showing how to do that.
The second reason the variations button may not be
showing is variations only work with fixed price listings.
Multi variation listings do not work with auction listings.
If you scroll down the same page
there's a box where you can select Fixed price for listing,
or Auction.
So if you're planning to do a multi variation listing
select Fixed price.
Okay, so hopefully your Create variations button
is now showing.
Now just before we create a variation
notice that eBay has automatically added these variations.
For this demonstration,
I'm going to click the Remove all button
to remove these variations.
The next step is to click the Create variations button.
On this page, choose which variations you have.
And you can also add more variations
by clicking the +Add button.
Next, you can add any other variation that you'd like.
For this example, I'll add the variation color.
Next I'll click on color.
That is just a matter of clicking on
whichever variations that suits the item
that you're listing.
For this demonstration, I'll click on black, red, and gold.
And for size, I'll create a large size
and then select all three sizes.
Notice that once you click on whichever variations
that you choose, those options instantly show
on the right hand side.
Once you finish adding your variations and options
click on the blue Continue button.
Next, upload your photos
just like you do with any other non multi variation listing.
However, you can allocate a different photo
for each variation.
So when a buyer selects,
let's say a red T-shirt, eBay displays a red T-shirt.
Now if you scroll down, you'll see all different
variations that you've created.
Here you can add your price for each variation
and you can also add the quantity
and also if you don't have any of these variations
or you're missing one or two or more variations
you can delete any variation that you don't have.
Also, if you use a program like Scarcity Manager
to automatically check your supplies inventory levels
you'll need to add SKU number to each variation
for Scarcity Manager to work with eBay.
The SKU number can be absolutely anything.
So just make sure that each SKU number
for each variation, is different.
After you've done that, click on the blue Save button
and close button.
The next steps are just like optimizing
any other non multi variation eBay listing.
I'm not going to go into listing optimization in this video
as I've done that in a previous week's video,
but if you missed that video showing how to optimize
and increase eBay sales fast
I'll put a link on the screen and below.
