Should I list prices on my website or have people contact me for pricing?

Absolutely list prices on your website. Do not be one of those mysterious artists who requires people to contact you to discuss pricing. Imagine walking into an art gallery and when you ask about a piece, the gallerist says they’re too busy to talk to you about it right now or show you the price, so you should leave and send an email. You’d never return. The same applies online. Follow the proven paradigm of how art galleries operate: prices are visible, and the buying experience is straightforward.
