Please put in a method "Search my Inventory" to find parts without size.

This way I can quickly add a size to my parts so that instant checkout will work
for those parts.

I just got home and went to start measuring pieces that I have that have no size.
I had an order today and all but 2 of the lots had measurements, so I went to
start with those. But I can only see how to enter it in stud units. The rest
of the pieces in my order are by mm. And I see that one of the pieces that DOES
have the mm measurements on my order, does NOT have a size listed on its item
page. So....do we even have access to enter the measurement that is used for
shipping estimates?

We do not have that capability yet. The only dimensions users can add are the
custom dimensions in their store. See boxes DimX, DimY, and DimZ in image below.

Ok. Well, when it is good and ready, I am ready to help with the effort.

Would you add dimensions of DUPLO figures the same way?

It would be a lot of redundant work if each seller who has DUPLO figures listed
needs to add dimensions of every single figure in their inventory.

I see your point with the redundancy issue. However, there are many creative
ways to set up your shipping methods that don't depend heavily on dimensions
being entered into the system. I would encourage you to spend more time on that
end of things instead of entering thousands of dimensions which will get added
to the system later anyway.

Maybe you could add dimensions for a few of the figs and then compare the sales
results with the others, which I believe are "weight bound" by default. I'd
be interested to hear what happens.
