what's going on everybody this is scott
also known as chichen king and today i'm
going to show you how to create a
variation listing in ebay and i'm going
to do it one step at a time and show you
exactly which box to check and i'm going
to do this by actually creating a
variation listing and not just telling
you what i would do the one that i've
chosen is i have some cha-ching king
t-shirts i've got blue and i've got
green and i've got a few different sizes
there are some definite
pitfalls when you're trying to create a
variation listing to me it doesn't seem
intuitive if you check the wrong box at
the wrong time it doesn't work and you
really don't know why so what i want to
do is remove some of those mistakes from
you because i already made them and to
make it as easy for you to do as
possible one of the best benefits of a
variation listing is that when you put
this up like i'm going to be listing
there will be a total of five variation
and several t-shirts it still counts as
one listing just one listing what you
can't use variation listings for are
shirts that are similar but not the same
the shirts that i'm listing are the same
cut the same pattern the same logo you
can't use completely different items
just so that you have one listing
without spending a lot of time me
talking to you let's go ahead and get
started with it let's pop over into the
seller hub this is my personal store you
do not need to have a store
or be paying for a store in order to do
variation listings so let's head down
here to where it says create listing
let's get started with this this is
where you're going to start recently
used categories this one is in men's
t-shirts if you're not sure where it's
going to go you could always type in and
you can just say let's get started and
it's going to bring up stuff that's
close what you don't want to do
is choose one of these none of those are
going to work
we're going to choose men's t-shirts
this is really critical right here this
is what will trip up a lot of people
when they are trying to make a variation
listing i want you to notice what it
automatically populated the item
specifics with it put the brand as
ringer which is inaccurate but the
department is men which will end up
being unisex adult and put the typist
t-shirt not going to worry about that
right now but i want to watch what
happens when i put in my title and i'm
going to put in new cha ching king
ringer t-shirt choose color
and size blue or green
and when i click off of this i want you
to watch what happens to my item
specifics
it goes through and it populates these
and let me show you why that's a bad
deal in case this trips you up when i go
down here now to my variations
and i'm going to add the ones i want
color is no longer a choice
let me cancel that
and i'm going to go back here what
happened is it picked these up here it
shows the character as blue from the tv
show
the theme as colorful
the brand is ringer but most importantly
it selected a color which removed it as
a variation so i want to take that off
there for right now
i don't need a subtitle
these are stored on the shelf by my desk
the uh
upc does not apply
but let's create the variations we want
right here
i'm not going to have fabric type and
i'm not going to have accents let's add
i'm going to have color
and there isn't one that just says size
i'm going to choose size type and you'll
see that in just a minute
so let's save that
now
see the color is highlighted here size
type here's color color is highlighted
i'm going to drop down here i'm going to
select blue
and i'm going to select green
and on size type right here when i click
on this
since this was men's you have regular
and you have big and tall
but we're just going to select
we're just selecting regular and in
these t-shirts i have large extra large
and 2xl and you'll notice over on the
right it's got the color as a variation
and the size type as regular and those
sizes so we're going to click
continue
and we're going to add our default
photos
i've got a blue one and i've got a green
one whoop
you hold the control button down to
select more than one at a time you'll
notice that the blue one is pretty well
fills the screen and i did this on
purpose the green one does not see how
much smaller it is this right here
allows you to crop your photos if you
haven't been doing that
i want it to fill as much of that screen
as possible okay now under variation
listings down here
i don't want to just leave default
photos because look what happens down
here it just chose the first one for all
of them all of them are blue even though
some of them are green
so instead of use default photos i want
to choose
color
and now with blue highlighted
i want to use the blue one and when i do
the green one
i will have to crop it again
because it won't know and depending upon
your listing obviously you want to do
several different pictures not one
picture of each okay and in the
variations now now you'll see it's put
the green ones with the green ones and
the blue ones with the blue ones and
there's a couple of important things to
pay attention to here so let's enter how
many i have for each one of these
on the blue large
i have two
and here's what's important on blue
extra large i don't have any
so i need to delete
this line
i just sold something
i want to delete that variation off
there because if not
you can't list a variation with zero
quantity
now under green under the large i have
four
and under extra large
i have five
and 2xl i have one and so now i've
created
all of my variations i have a total of
five different out of those and we're
going to save and close that
and from here it's going to start
getting a whole lot easier there's my
listings new without tags there's my
pictures
so the brand on the t-shirts is augusta
sportswear that should come up
and instead of men's i'm going to put
unisex adult
for theme i can put whatever
i want here so i'm going to add
reselling to it
the fit is regular
the pattern is
solid
the neckline is a crew neck
the sleeve length is
short sleeve
i don't have a character but you know
what i could put
i can put cha-ching king i can add what
i want right there
and features
contrasting trim
and i could also put graphic
but i i could have put logo here but i
could have put graphic print there
and
material all of that i'm not going to
mess with it on this one
and in this space down here
i would come in and type in
what it is to ching king t-shirt and
then all i'm going to do
is put approximate sizes
so that they know some kind of idea of
what they're getting
as i come down i need to enter the price
and the quantity in the sku
and i probably could have done this over
there but here's the price
on these t-shirts i've got 18.99 for
everything under a 2xl the 2xl
was a dollar more and at this price
based on what i paid for these i will
ship these free i don't make a lot of
money on these but obvious that was
never the goal
all right let me scroll back down here
going back over this let's see here i've
got my prices in there
i don't care if people remain anonymous
i've never checked that box sales tax
they take care of i do accept returns i
don't ever get them on this particular
website but i could if you look here
it's got the calculating shipping all
that i'm just going to click free
shipping
otherwise you could come in here and put
the cost and if they were going to buy
multiples you could change the shipping
the package on these i know is going to
be 12 by nine by three it's a little
poly mailer
and i put 15 ounces on them they're
different sizes so they could vary some
i put it at the upper end in case i get
an international buyer
because right here to sell
internationally with global shipping
program i always check that like it's
just free money as far as i'm concerned
because this is chichen king and i
promote this on my own youtube channel
i'm not going to pay ebay extra to have
them promote it for me
i do want to do this offer a discount to
buyers when they purchase more than one
item
because a lot of my stuff is branded it
actually saves me money if i'm shipping
items
and it's cheaper for the buyer too when
i put them all together because some of
them might have shipping on them so i'll
check that and leave it and from there
let's list this and see what it does
and i can click i'm done now
and when i come over to my active
listings
you're going to see it right here
it's got the variations on there they
can come in and select the color
they can collect the i mean i only have
regular but then they can choose the
size that they want
it shows you that it's the last one it
shows you that it's 30-day free returns
and that i have our 30-day returns not
free returns and the free standard
shipping
and it's got all the information that i
put
and that my friends
is it
we've created variation listing and
that's really all there is to it
variation listings are a tremendous way
for you to list a lot of inventory very
very quickly when you're fortunate
enough to get something that comes with
different sizes or different colors i
have made a lot of tutorial videos and
i'm going to continue to make more what
i'd like for you to do is if there's a
tutorial video you would like to see
that i haven't done post it down in the
comments below and i'll try and get to
it if this video has been helpful if you
enjoyed the channel i would love it if
you would subscribe to the channel and
give this video a like one of my
favorite tutorial videos is i made one
