I just found out that I have a few items (mostly instructions) in my shop that
qualified for instant checkout in the past, but do now show up when searching
for "instant checkout unavailable"

The problem is that these lots DO have weight and dimension in the catalog,
but I have to set custom dimensions (even the exact same dimensions from
the catalog will do) to have the lot qualify for instant checkout.
I can't find any difference to other lots/instructions that work perfectly
fine with the catalog supplied weight and dimensions:

Here are two examples with weight and dimension in the catalog and both are "volume
bound". One is working fine, the other not so much:

NOT working (lot id: 244555997)

Working (lot id: 244556002)

The issue is that the one from the first link:
 
Set No: 7021  Name: Viking Double Catapult vs. the Armoured Ofnir Dragon
* 
7021-1 (Inv) Viking Double Catapult vs. the Armoured Ofnir Dragon
487 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2006
Sets: Vikings
has packing dimensions entered for the instructions, whereas the second one does
not:
 
Set No: 7415  Name: Aero Nomad
* 
7415-1 (Inv) Aero Nomad
111 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 5 Gear, 2003
Sets: Adventurers: Orient Expedition

For the second one, packing dimensions are calculated by an algorithm, based
on the size of the set/box:
Largest side x next largest side x 1.0 cm.

To fix this problem, please add dimensions to the instructions entry through
the catalog entry form:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=S

This is one of the things we will be tackling in Packing Dimensions Phase 3.
