Is it frowned upon to negotiate bonuses with the scheduler, or ask them to contact you once a bonus reaches a certain threshold?

I've had a scheduler text me (different platform) asking if I would be willing to do a shop for a certain bonus. I have done this shop multiple times before, sometimes picking it up with a high bonus directly from the platform, once when she offered the high bonus straight off. Another time I said I would be happy to do it for ten dollars more. Once I did it at the lower bonus point as a favor to her and to encourage goodwill (not on my last two shops though).

Well she has again asked me to do it at a lower bonus. I don't want to do it at that price point, so I could just say no. I could again ask for ten dollars more, though that would still be less than most of the other times, and I would feel embarrassed to ask for more. Would it be frowned on if I:

A. Ask her when the bonus might reach a certain threshold?

B. Just let her know I would like to wait until the bonus reaches that threshold?

C. Say I'll be happy to accept the shop the next time she contacts me if it has reached that number?

I know it won't necessarily reach it every month, and am OK with that. I also know that there is little if any competition where I live.

Sandra, while I've personally never seen a shop with pay(fee) or reimbursement that can be negotiated, sometimes on an msp you will see a button next to the bonus that says, "make an offer ". You can offer to do it for a higher bonus. However they typically have a maximum bonus they are willing to give out (at that time-- it could go up later if no one has accepted the shop).

On the other hand, I have had schedulers contact me directly (text, phone, email) and ask if I would be willing do do a shop with X pay and X bonus. If I say no, they sometimes ask what bonus I would be willing to do it for. If my offer is out of their pre-determined range, they will not accept.
