Some categories no longer allow multi variation listings?

Some categories no longer allow multi variation listings? Anyone heard anything on this?
One of my listings didn't auto re-new on "good till cancelled" for this reason and a message to this effect came through from eBay.

    A pet hate of mine. I hate them with a passion.

    In my opinion there should be no multiple items that are totally different item/price. Ie selling an electrical item for ££ then finding the price quoted is for a plug only.

    Multi listings should be, we have these in several colours or sizes, Or we sell this by the metre and you choose how many metres you want.

  • ballisticbrian you're right. Some have had limitations for a long time. And others are not. Everything depending on the category
  • I was wondering had I missed an announcement about expansion or changes of the categories in which they are allowed or disallowed?

    I was wondering had I missed an announcement about expansion or changes of the categories in which they are allowed or disallowed?

    I can't find any announcement and wonder if there might be a glitch?I tried relisting some of my normal stock(mine are just colour variations on a widget, all the same price ) and it told me I couldn't add variations as it wasn't supported. Then 5 minutes later I suddenly could add variations?

    However I haven't had any re lists fail (yet!)
