Listing card conditions and multiple cards

[daniemcquilla8]

I'm trying to create a listing for my trading cards where the buyer can select card condition e.g. mint, like new, used and what cards are available in these different categories.

I've seen it where listings have drop down menus which allow the buyer to see what cards are in each condition, the price etc.

Can someone offer any advice on how this can be done?

Thanks
Daniel

If you use the Advanced Selling Form - sometimes referred to as the Business Listing Tool - then you should find that you can set up a multivariation listing so that buyers can select different options to choose from.   Ignore any of eBay's rubbish that the Advanced Selling Form is only for business sellers - it's not.  Anybody can use it, whether they're a private or a business seller, and it's certainly preferable to use the Advanced Selling Form as that way eBay don't interfere with your listings without your permission and start altering things, such as adding in the Best Offer option when it wasn't there originally, or reducing the asking price of the item.  There are several other advantages to using the Advanced Listing Form, but if you do decide to give it a shot then once you've set up the first listing save it as a template and should you decide to list similar items for sale again you can just use the presaved template to help you to set up the next advert, and all you need to change are the photos, replacing them with shots of the latest item, as well as ensuring that you update the item description so that it shows an item description written specifically for that item.

When it comes to the Item Specifics fields you should find that these will have automatically been retained from the original listing, so you can just leave them as they are if they don't need to be changed.  However, should you need to adjust something in one of the presaved Item Specifics fields - for example, if you need to update the postage costs - then you can do this manually by deleting the old information and entering the new information that you wish to replace it with.

Good luck with your selling on eBay - if you get stuck and need any further advice feel free to post your queries on the forums, as there is always somebody willing to offer advice to help you out.
