What in the world is up with the insanely low prices for commissions on here.

I feel like I have to say something. I just saw someone offer art for $2. This is so demeaning to people who value their work at a higher rate, and this why artists have such a hard time making money. They are either too scared to charge more, or lose clients to the ones that charge so so so cheap. Is there a better way to moderate this because it is insane.

EDIT: Artists should absolutely be charging minimum wage. That is what it is for. So that you don't have to work for so cheap. Keep track of your hours and charge accordingly. If you feel like you're still overcharging at that amount, put in the time and work to make sure your stuff is worth it.
