Ruby Lane

What is Ruby Lane? 

Ruby lane is a website not unlike Etsy that specializes in Vintage and Antique items only. So this site is not for handmade goods. 

Some benefits to selling through Ruby Lane:

Fixed Price Format:

"Unlike some venues, Ruby Lane shops sell items at set prices rather than in an auction format. Our optional Make-An-Offer setting further entices buyers - our software can automatically accept, counter or reject offers for you! You can also use our Send To Auction feature which allows you to conveniently showcase your shop's items on eBay and other sites."

-You're also dealing with a much more specialized website which means the people shopping are looking for those older pieces and likely not just browsing "purple dresses" in an open search on etsy.

How their pricing works: -it's a little bit complicated but it may come out cheaper than etsy in the long run because they do not take a cut of your sales.

"Ruby Lane's simple tiered pricing structure is affordable even for small sellers. No commissions! For accounts registered before January 1, 2014: a one-time fee of 30 cents to add each item; for accounts registered starting January 1, 2014: a one-time fee of 39 cents per item which includes Advanced Image Processing fee; a once a month maintenance fee where the first 150 items is 30 cents for each item, and then each item over 150 and up to 1000 is 20 cents, and then each item over 1000 is 1 cent (minimum $24 per month); an advertising fee of $30 per month per shop. There are no additional hidden costs or contracts. "
