In order to create variations, first make sure the listing form shows fixed price, then you can choose between 30 days for Good 'til Cancelled. You could then include a photo illustrating the size variations. Until your selling limits are increased, you may want to use 30 day listings, and change around your inventory to showcase different stencils each month.
That doesn't work, each item in a multi-quantity listing counts as "an item" if you have a limit of 10 items and list a multi-quantity listing with a quantity of 10 then you are maxed out.
Back to the OP's question.....Yes ALL new sellers or sellers who have not been active recently will have similar limits. This has been true since 2012.
I have opened new accounts I was able to get a small increase in my limits immediately by calling eBay and linking the accounts. Even with that the limits were still very low. Now flash forward 6 months and the limits became high enough that I would never use them all.
All you can do is ask for an increase every 30 days (do not do it more frequently), if things go well your limits will be increased each time and eventually you will have limits that allow you to list as much as you like.
eBay does this for your protection, for the protection of buyers and of course for their own protection because if you screw up eBay are on the hook and buyers have a low tolerance for substandard sellers.
One other tip, when you apply for an increase do it when you are already at your maximum and possibly doing it early in the monthly cycle rather than at the end when the counter is about to reset.
