Help - Need to merge single product listings into New Variation Listing
Hello I have a product that has different sizes. Im trying to merge into one variation listing. My competitors do this. My attributes are all the same except size of course. By the Merge Duplicate Product Pages tool with amazon says products are not the same. When in fact they are the same. I have opened a case with seller support and i was told attributes do not match. When ive gone over everything and they are the same. They are all the same but the multiple cases I have opened i get the same response from amazon saying the attributes do not match.
What can I do?

You do not do a merge to create a variation family.
What you do is create a new "virtual" listing that represents the parent with a variation theme of 'size". Then you assign each of your listings as "children" to that "parent".
Use the variation wizard

Hi @BomberoNY,
Thanks for the post. Can you share the case id that you opened with Seller Support.
Thanks in advance.

just a heads up that there is a great possibility you will lose bullet points you may have now if merged together

They're technically different items, so you wouldn't want to, nor should you merge them. Merging is only for identical products.
You'll want to use the parent-child variations function.
You have to create a new parent item, then you can take each existing ASIN and make them a child product under the newly created parent. You'll input your new SKU for the parent and Amazon will generate a new ASIN for it.
We use the upload templates for this because we create 20+ variations at a time, but you can probably do it without templates too - you should see an option where it asks if there are variations for the new item. Just make note of your existing SKUs and existing ASINs so all reviews, etc.. will carry over on them.
