eBay Expands Multi-Variation Feature to More Categories
By Ina Steiner
EcommerceBytes.com
March 18, 2010




eBay expanded the multi-variation listing feature to additional categories. The feature allows sellers to list multiple variations of a product - such as color and size - in one Fixed-Price listing, and can help sellers of certain types of goods save money in listing fees. For example, clothing sellers could list one style of pants in various colors and sizes in one eBay listing.

The feature is now available in more subcategories of Home & Garden and in subcategories within six more categories: Baby, Crafts, Health & Beauty, Jewelry & Watches, Pet Supplies, and Sporting Goods. With multi-variation listings, sellers can also manage their inventory right in the listing. As items sell, remaining quantities for each variation are automatically adjusted.

eBay has published a multi-variation category look-up tool, found here.
