If a listing has multiple variations, deleting it correctly depends on which delete option you use. This article explains how to delete a full listing (with all variations), a single variation, or just the monitor's copy of the variations — without accidentally removing something you meant to keep.
Prerequisites
- A listing with variations in Yaballe
- Access to the REPRICER page
Steps
- Locate the product line in the REPRICER page and click the red cogwheel icon on the right side of that line.
- Do not use the BULK OPERATIONS button for this — it does not give you the variation-level delete options below.
- In the delete options window that opens, choose one of the following based on what you want to delete:
A. Delete the entire listing (all variations) from both eBay and the Repricer
Check both "✓" boxes in the delete panel.
B. Delete only a specific variation from the listing
Check the Also delete from eBay "✓" box only.
C. Delete all variations from the Repricer only (listing stays live on eBay)
Check the Delete all the variations from the listing "✓" box only.
3. Confirm the deletion.
Troubleshooting / Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| I deleted from the Monitor but the listing is still active on eBay | This happens when only the Delete all the variations from the listing "✓" was checked - that only removes the Repricer's copy. In such case, delete the items which are no longer in Yaballe directly in your eBay > Active Listings. |
| I wanted to delete one variation but the whole listing disappeared | Both "✓" boxes were likely checked. Only check the Also delete from eBay "✓" box to remove a single variation. |
| I used BULK OPERATIONS and nothing happened to my multi-variation listings | BULK OPERATIONS doesn't support this level of variation control - always use the cogwheel icon for variation-specific deletes. |
FAQ
What's the difference between the Also delete from eBay and the Delete all the variations from the listing "✓" checkbox?
The Also delete from eBay "✓" controls deletion on eBay itself; the Delete all the variations from the listing "✓" controls deletion from the Repricer (Yaballe).
Can I delete just one variation without affecting the rest of the listing?
Yes - check only the Also delete from eBay "✓" box to remove a single variation while keeping the rest of the listing intact.
Why shouldn't I use BULK OPERATIONS for this?
BULK OPERATIONS doesn't expose the variation-level delete options (the two "✓" checkboxes), so it can't be used for partial or precise variation deletion. If you select a multi-variation item row and apply bulk delete on it, it will be simply skipped.
