Hi guys  . I need honest opinion: how much would you charge to make clipping paths+color balance+renaming of 1500 images? (shoes in this example). Company is in America, west coast. I wonder what's the price of people working there.

Tell them a lot, check for a chines Company that does it for 5% of your price and become RICH!
Ok this may not be the honest opinion, but by 1500 images that's the only way it makes sense these days...

I got $300 for that and I don't feel very happy  I don't know if it's ok to ask for a higher price. What do you think?

That's why it's hard to find a job these days because people work for peanuts  . That's why I'm afraid to ask for more money 'cause there's always someone who will work for less. I'm not smart what to do

300 bucks for 1500 images? Means 20 cent for 1 image? If so forget the getting rich 
Did you do the clipping paths by hand or automated?

calculating 15 minutes per image you're looking at 375 hours of work, provided that you work 24 hrs a day it'll still take you more than 15 days,
300???

By hand Yes, the problem is that I know I'm working for peanuts but I needed review at getafreelancer  Sooo then it's no problem to ask for more. How much? Is $600 too much? I live in a country where you can't earn much, but last job a had: 8 days of work in one month, $700. And now I just feel stupid with this

Exactly.
The average here too is estimated to 4-5 images/hour at a quotation of 15-25 euros/h. I f you wanna make them a favor ask 10 eur / 5 pics and this is good deal for them.
