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. No. What I am asking for is to be able to search for items in the catalogue that do not have dimensions. This cannot be done currently. You can only search for catalogue items without weight. Yes you can do a search for items that won't work with instant checkout, but as previously mentioned this won't pickup items that are listed as weight bound, have a catalogue weight but no dimensions and are too big to be sent as a large letter.
