That's a great idea. I was also thinking of asking about whether I could advertise a first time buyer discount in the title of a listing. I mentioned free shipping in a listing before and got in trouble for that. I believe it has to do with Google shopping restrictions. Once trust is established from the first sale, buyers have no trouble coming back.
