I certainly don't go along with the advice to keep the description short and expand the terms and conditions, IMO terms and conditions should be as short as possible, expanded under the postage and payment tab if you wish.

Why not use up some of your 40 free listings selling second hand clothing or household items to build up some recent seller feedback, don't price them too ow that you are losing money but as long as you at least break even look on it as a marketing stratergy.
