Many providers tend to link some aspect of self-worth, class or quality with their rates. Maybe it's time to figure that out and detach your rate from those qualities.

All those things you mention are factors with a slew of others imo.
To the topic though, post rates are non negotiable on website as suggested previously then its done and done. We won't/ shouldnt negotiate then unless we can't read.
