Is there a way for instant checkout to still be used even if there is no "volume"
listed for an item. I have a bunch of the collectible minifigure sets listed
but most of the newer ones don't have any volume dimensions listed. So I
have to send the invoice manually because instant checkout won't work for
those items. Is there a way too get around this so instant checkout will work
even if there's no volume listed. I've had about 10 of these orders in
the last day and it's like being back in the days of no instant checkout.
I know some people may prefer that but definitely not me.

You can manually set the volume for items in your inventory

Didn't even think of that. Much appreciated.

I know some people may prefer that but definitely not me.

...and in case you didn't know already; you can check all the items in your
inventory that are missing some bit of information that prevents them from being
purchased via Instant Checkout by going to "My Store--Inventory", then making
sure the "Instant Checkout Unavailable" box is checked, and hitting the "Go!"
button... if anything pops up, they are items missing information that would
allow for IC; you can then add whatever info (volume or weight) is missing manually
(as you can see in the screenshots, I added a weight to them)...

It took me a while to figure this out because a Buyer asked about a specific
item that they were unable to checkout with, and it turns out I had a bunch of
those items that couldn't be sold via IC; because I only set sales for IC,
and the missing volume/weight info prevented any Buyer from checking out if any
one of those items was in their cart (I'm like you, I don't want to go
back to the days before IC!)...

I regularly check it from time to time now, as I add more items to my inventory,
so I don't have that issue again...

All the sealed packs from the very to beginning to the present all seem to be
the same size. Why don't you just keep things simple and use those dimensions
for all the collectible figure sets.

Because they aren't all the same size.

I just looked at the dimensions for 10 different random dimensions for the single
packs of collectible series from different series. From series 1 to 21 and all
the spinoffs. All the sealed packs that I looked at have the same dimensions.
So why not just use those dimensions for each set since obviously the sets can
be no larger than the sealed wax pack. Aren't those the dimensions that are
used for sealed sets. Isn't the dimension how big the box that the set comes
in? Not the dimension of the legos separate from the box.

That should not be the case. The LEGO pieces that are in each bag make the thickness
of said bag different for each one. Therefore, these dimensions should not have
been copy/pasted and should not be copy/pasted in the future. If you look at
different series, there are different dimensions, so I do not believe you checked
all series 1 to 21 and the spinoffs.

Please inform where I said I checked all series 1 to 21 bags and the spinoffs.
Would really love for you to point out where I said that considering I specifically
said I checked 10 random packs from different series.

I just clicked on series 6. This is what comes up for the weight and dimensions
if I were to buy a single random pack.

Weight: 11.13g
Item Dim.: 8.7 x 11.8 x 1.5 cm
