| I have minifigs from 10040 Black Seas Barracuda and 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner.
Are the black buckles a variant or did the gold come off like on old Space
minifigs?
The 10040 minifigs have a lighter colored belts. And in other fogs (not pictured)
the belts have different colors inside the buckles.
Are these known issues? How do I note these in my store?
Thanks!

There are separate catalogue entries for each varient;
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=Torso%20Pirate%20Stripes%20Blue
Black buckle isn't specifically catalogued in any one set, so I reckon it
is just a factory variation. I assume less common, I checked the 15 or so I have
and they're all gold buckles.

If you're going to list them as minifigures instead of parting them out,
make sure to mention the variant in the comments, since minifigure inventories
don't allow alternates.

Would you be able to sell these as regular minifigs though? I would think that
they might have to be custom listings since they aren't the actual components.
I would think of this similar to someone listing a fig without a cape in the
notes, having a note that the color isn't correct or a different hair piece
fall into that same mindset for me.
I think your better option, IMO, is a custom listing for either the entire fig
or just the torso.

Yes, I think so, just like you can sell different variations of Classic Space
minifigs even though you don't have the "right" helmet according to the official
inventory. For example
is listed as having the helmet
but it might come with
or
or
(I've never seen FWIW.)
Importantly, these variants aren't listed in the description of the minifig
itself, yet they're still acceptable.

Wow... putting inputting this stuff in my inventory is a pain in the butt!

If someone lists a minifig with a note that it is missing a cape, or the color
is not as per the inventory, or a different hair piece that the inventory lists,
that would need to be listed as a custom.
