What do you think of my original painting price?

I have listed this original oil painting on ebay for $9.99.

Is that ok?





Thank you!What do you think of my original painting price?
I think it's too low. A very low price can do two things: either provoke a purchase because it's too good to pass up, or stall the purchase because the low price devalues the item and then nobody wants it.





In your case, it's the second one.





Try raising your prices to at least $50 and see if they don't command more respect. You paint very well -- commodities like wood and sugar are sold on price, but this is art. Don't commodify what you do.
