I would like to hear some opinions or advice how other sellers handle those situations:
As i sell many used minifigs as well, i check them before shipping even if they
were stored nicely. I make sure there are no cracks and no marks that i did not
had disclosed before adding it to the store. Sometimes of course you find something
or there is a new crack happening after long storage. Then i just refund before
shipping or check if i have that part/fig as well as dublicate somewhere.
But i had now twice the situation, that i checked the minifig i shipped before
very well (cracks, marks, scratches etc.) and shipped them and then got a complaint
that the "there was a crack".
I know its not true. But i can't proof it. So usually i make a replacement
or full refund, because its not worth the trouble. But its always only happening
on minifigs that are in the higher price range.
Sometimes i think someone just had a crack in his collection, ordered from me,
then repalced his cracked part and send his broken part back to me.
Anyone had such experience/thoughts and how you deal with them?

Refund and move on. It's part of the cost of selling.

You might know that there is not a crack at the time you package it, but you
cannot possibly know there is not a crack when the buyer receives it unless you
are there at the time the customer opens it. It could be damaged on the way.

If it is a high priced figure I will take pictures of it all sides and up and
down. I even offer to send the pictures to the buyer so that they know I have
taken pictures and the figure I send will be the one received.

When you check, do you insert the legs into the torso? The torso may look fine,
only to show a crack once the legs are inserted. This has saved me a couple of
times.
Do you stress test the figure? Putting legs sideways partially into the torso
will reveal if there is any cracks on the sides or front/back of the torso. Also
you can do the same for the legs. Many cracks are not visible until you do a
stress test
