The set dimensions were (re)-submitted just days ago but the set still shows
no dimensions in my inventory, yet in the catalog the dimensions are correct.
This is not normally how it works, whats wrong?

That's very odd! I just added this to my shop to confirm the issue and it
also has no dimensions.

This catalog item still has a bug with shipping dimensions. This makes it hard
for me to use instant checkout unless the seller has input custom dimensions.

But there are solutions:

* add customs dimensions to this lot,

* have a Manual Invoice (backup), and invoice buyers manually (and move
on)?

Please don't hope for a quick BrickLink fix on this soooo specific problem,
IMHO?



PS: Of course, Russell may come here randomly and post "It's corrected",
because he's a Catalog guy (and always a Santa for BrickLink users). But
just don't expect this

I understand how to fix the issue as a seller, it's about trying to buy from
un-aware sellers. Not all sellers have a manual invoice option, this item will
break their checkout system, and cannot be purchased.

I've just found another broken catalog item apparently with dimensions but
the dimensions are not really there for shipping purposes. I'm not explaining
it well but the issue was verified by Jennifer.

This set also has the same problem

Looks like Russel is trying to verify my claims of a problem. Now that i've
found multiple items with this issue it may get looked at a little closer....

Item dimensions is the coin itself and packing dimensions is the box isn't
it? Looks like this has what I put in in the item dims.

its size was a little off. (mostly the thickness. prior it was 1.5cm which would
have let it go lettermial in Canada but its actually 2.7cm thick which is way
to large) https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReqList.asp?itemID=238360

no, item dimensions are for the entire gear not just the coin (unless I'm
mistaken)

This is an issue caused by the packing dimensions system.
When we approve a new item without packing dimensions, then the packing dimension
fields are blank, and everything is fine. But when packing dimensions get added
to an item by accident and need to be removed afterwards, the packing dimensions
fields change to 0x0x0cm. Even if we leave them blank and press "Submit Changes"
on our admin form they only change to 0x0x0 again - there is no way for us to
delete the zeros. The same happend to the two sets mentioned above (40608 and
40595). I guess the packing dimensions of 0x0x0cm override the actual (item)
dimensions and that is why it doesn't work with auto-invoice/instand checkout.

Thank you for acknowledging the underlying problem from an administrator's
point of view.
