It might have been a good idea to offer price ranges, e.g.
1) zero EUR
2) below 25 EUR
3) 25-50 EUR
4) 50-75 EUR
and so on.
Also, minimum fees vary according to what kind of job you should carry out (translation, proof-reading etc.), just as Kemal pointed out, and also how urgent the job can be. This poll wasn't among the best ones.

Occasionally I don't charge at all - if the client is a private person not earning money from a job, then it's just not worth the trouble of invoicing, charging VAT (at 25%, which is horrendous, but that's the law if they're not VAT registered!) and so on.
I tell them they can give a contribution to a good cause if they like and leave it at that. ▲ Collapse
