Why can't sellers have an option to search their inventory for items without dimensions so we can add our own? Unfortunately there are a lot of items in the catalogue without dimensions that have been set by default as weight bound rather than volume bound that can't (In Australia at least) be sent as a large letter as they will exceed the 20mm maximum thickness. This wasn't as big an issue in the past, but now with instant checkout it is. Why should it matter if an item does or doesn't fit within the normal stud/brick height system? Surely the main purpose of dimensions is for calculating postage costs? It's not that difficult to pull out a ruler or tape measure and measure something. I'm happy to do it myself to my own inventory, just give me the option to search for items that don't have catalogue dimensions like we can for items without weight. First, I didn't make this system and I would certainly NEVER defend it. I was just trying to explain some the details. Second, you can absolutely look up parts missing shipping dimensions in your inventory. I don't use Instant Checkout, but I believe there is a checkbox for Instant Checkout Unavailable on your My Inventory page. Your original post seemed to be asking about item dimensions which are not the same thing. I was just coming to suggest this very thing. Before I did though I checked, and no, there is no such box. That would probably be one of those "inventory management tools" that were promised years ago but have yet to materialise.
