How much do jewelry prototyping and sample fees usually cost? Edited
A factory quoted me 150 dollars for a sample. Is that normal?

Standard terms: 30-50 percent deposit, balance before shipping. Wire transfer (T/T) is normal. For first orders, USE Alibaba Trade Assurance - it holds the money until you confirm. Avoid 100 percent upfront. Western Union and crypto are red flags.
