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:

You should go by time x minimum wage (or whatever wage you'd like to earn) as to what you charge. If your sketch takes you, say, an hour then you shouldn't charge less than $7 for it.

You have a lot of potential when I look at your gallery. You should be charging more than $5usd.

It'll take some time to build up a client base that will pay the prices that you ask, so just keep uploading and showing yourself off! Don't let anyone bully you into charging less than what you are worth. Some of these folks see that you are young and figure that you will be happy to get anything.

Alright! I'll keep that in mind when I get myself a complete redo of my prices! c:

And Thank you! ^0^

OK! May I ask what kinds of Tags are good to use? I never seem to figure out how to tag things well.
That seems reasonable as well, I'll make sure to be firm and keep my prices no lower than what they're stated as.
