A Configurable Product is displayed as a single Product with drop-down lists of options (Child Products) for each variation. Each option is a separate Simple Product.
✅ We recommend you choose the Configurable Product type if you want to list your product as a Multi-Variational one. Compared with others, this Magento product type is more suitable for managing variations on eBay.
Let’s take a look at the example of such a product and how its variations are displayed:
- In Magento Inventory settings

- In the list of Magento Products, where ID 2002 is a Parent Product, ID 1997 and ID 1996 are Child Products

- In the M2E Pro Listing

✅ M2E Pro allows you to provide eBay Catalog Identifiers for each variation of your Configurable Product. You can do it via the Manage Variations option within the Listing.
- on eBay

If the Ignore Variations option is enabled in Selling Policy, a Configurable Product will be listed as a Simple one, without variations.
