Using a Simple Product with Custom Options, you can create variations by adding customizable options to a product.

When listing Simple Products with Custom Options on Amazon, M2E Pro creates Variations on the basis of options.

Magento considers a Simple Product with Custom Options as a Simple (not Multi-Variation one) above all. While it may be convenient to list certain products under this Product type, it is the least flexible for listing Multi-Variation Products on Amazon.
