Bunchy, can you mail me a link for the “more than five variations” thing? sue @ tamebay dot com

I have it direct from eBay that five’s the maximum, so I’d very much like to check that one out!

The picture/item variation bug is not fixed
Sometimes it’s working, sometimes it’s not working.

I was under the impression that only 5 variations could be had, however I have seen a listing with double that.
How are sellers getting around the maxium 5 variations? And more importantly why are ebay allowing sellers to be able to override it?

Great! another loophole!

Im sure we will see an MVL as DOTD soon enough.

Just as soon as someone that knows how it works shows ebay.

#23 It’s simply a listing that allows the buyer to choose from a predefined set of options, such as size or colour.

Amazon have something similar.

Here is a sample listing:

Have finally sold an item on an MVL listing.
When I come to print off the invoice/packing slip via smp I notice the main picture is displayed (not the image of the varient sold) and no mention of which variation has been sold underneath the listing/item title.
More time wasted to manually check which varient has sold and to either write it on the invoice/packing slip or type a note on the sales record.

Not very good really.

For those that want to wait and see what the buyers do why not create an MVL but keep your original listings active as well? Or does that go against their one fixed price listing rule?

we listed a MVL in ladies shoes a few weeks back now via Turbo Lister. Worked fine, no problems at all once i’d figured out what to do.

The individual SKUs are good, as we download all our sales and compile them into our own reports.

No problems here!

Lorna, you’ll need to do the latest update and then it’s next to item specifics

Does anyone know where to find the option in turbo lister ?

We won’t be using them just yet, we’ll wait and see how the buyers react first.

I haven’t actually looked very closely at these so far – All my items are in CSA category so they may well be useful. However I was wondering how people are going to adapt titles etc – I’m wary of using up the limited title characters available to mention all the sizes/colours available within the multi listing e.g.
20, 22,24,26
red,blue, green
as this means losing all my valuable keyword space.
If i use a subtitle as an alternative for getting this info across its then not cost effective to have the multi listing.
Just wondered how other people were approaching it?
