So, here's my dilemma (and I think it can be a useful topic for discussing pros and cons, so I'm putting it in conversations): 

I'm thinking about revamping my gig requirements, to avoid confusion and make buyers better aware of everything I need from them. So far, I've been listing all the questions (well, the most important ones) within one free text requirement. The trouble is, we get only 400 characters for that...but I was afraid to use multiple fields in case that buyers would find it annoying. 

My question for you is this: do you use just one field in gig requirements, or multiple fields? And do your buyers find it annoying? Does someone cancel the order because they can't be bothered to fill everything in? 

I'd especially like to know how it works for sellers with lower prices (say, gigs with $20 or even $10 or $5 as the starting price). I guess that those who order something for $5,000 expect to give long(ish) instructions, or are at least not surprised by thorough requirements, but what about those who spend $20?
