I donated a painting to a charity auction and it sold really high. So I raised all my prices. Now I can’t sell anything. What’s the deal?

The money went to charity, not to your art. Charity auction selling prices generally have little to do with the value of what’s being sold– items sell way too low and way too high all the time. Many people who bid at charity auctions see it like this– they donate money they intend to donate anyway, except when they donate it at an auction, they get free stuff in return (aka your art).
