  I sold and shipped an old classic Space set. The set was in good condition when
shipped. The buyer reports three problems:
1. One part is bent (hinge plate).
2. One plate 4 x 6 is broken (really: in two halfs!)
3. The one minifig in the set (classic space figure) has a cracked arm.
He asks to ship it back and get his money back.

I understand his frustration: a small'ish set with three defects is not good.
But I just didn't see the problems when shipping. Still my fault obviously,
but definitely not by intent.

Or the buyer is lying, and trying to replace broken parts with the good parts
you sent. Was the packaging damaged? The box would have to be crushed for 1 and
2 to occur. I suppose #3 is possible if you sent it without noticing the crack.


  I would rather suggest to send replacement parts:
1. Send a replacement part
2. Send a replacement part
3. Send a replacement arm (not the whole minifig)

Would you consider this a good solution?

Only if you ask the buyer and they agree to it. Sending the replacement arm is
risky, the buyer might crack the torso.

  If the buyer would persist in sending the set back, how would you handle it?

Depends on whether or not you think the buyer is being honest.
