Need some commissions advice

General
Alright. I'm just about ready to start kicking off my commissions!
The only thing stopping me right now is, I don't know how people here on FA handle them, how much I should charge, ya know, that kind of stuff.
I'd like some opinions and advice on the subject so I can get this thing going 8) . . . wow I feel like a homeless asking for change ^^;

FA+

but i would like to see some of your colored work
your really good so you would sell
this is how i charge, since i'm still getting kinks worked out and stuff
first so that everyone can see, make a journal with all of your price info and stuff and then link it to your main page, like in the info section where your name and stuff like that and edit things if they change. ^__^
as for prices mine are as follows:
badges:
b/w = $1.00
color = $5.00
sketches:
pencil - $10.00
ink - $15.00
color - $20.00
full pieces (meaning pieces that are larger than 8x10 or have backgrounds and stuff, thus require alot of work. I charge by size of paper and effort put into it so cheaper tends to be smaller)
B/w - $20.00 - $30.00
color - $30.00 - $50.00
just for an example since i'm kinda in the same boat as you, so good luck sir! i hope this gives you some ideas.
Also look at other artists and see what they're charging, but try to start low since you are starting out. also dont forget to consiter shipping charges and what not if a piece is huge and you decide to like frame it and what not.
hope this helps~ ^__^
oh also, don't forget to put down what your perferred method of payment is like cash or paypal. ^__^v
