That's too bad, but I don't know where you can get what you want in small 
quantities.

I would suspect it depends on what you are selling and where most your 
customers are. If the dimensions are incidental (e.g., used books) it probably 
won't matter even in the US. 

On the other hand, if the dimensions are very important (e.g., framed 
pictures), it might lower your response in the US.

But, I'm no eBay expert, so others might have more informed opinions on this.
