Advice: Commission Prices

[paradedemon.livejournal.com]

EDIT: Please note, I'm under the age of 18, so I can't take money commissions yet.

I've been getting people seeming to call me "greedy" or "crazy for having commissions for 400 points and more.

are people getting greedy right now and want more for less?
i think my art is really quite good so I take points commissions on DA for points all 10 $ worth or less.

yet people ask to take that and such to 100 points?
It bother me that people call me greedy for wanting a decen money for commissions? It's not even money, only virtual currency that's purchased for money but cannot be sold for money P:

I've only had people "satisfied with my prices" when I sold things for less than 40 points a year ago pretty much P:

I've posted some adoptables on there and I always say *dollar price* or points equivalent. And people seem fine until they ask how many points that amount is. Then they back off like I've tripled the price. Its like for some reason even though the points cost a certain amount people put them at a higher form of currency and just ignore the exchange rate for them.

Just charge what you feel like you should be getting, and if you'd like point out to people the exchange rate. Maybe they will understand better once they hear the amount. Though likely not, I'm guessing some use points because they can't use dollars. Its hard to tell. Either way, good luck and hold your ground.
