Ruby Lane is an online marketplace specifically for vintage and antique items like old jewelry, dolls, furniture, and art—like a fancy eBay!
While Ruby Lane may not have the brand recognition of that legacy site, it scores highly in surveys for its customer service and communication, so it will probably be less of a headache. There are standard listing options and on-site chat with buyers, and the site encourages shoppers to buy from new sellers to ensure they meet Ruby Lane’s high standards.
Making a Ruby Lane account is free, but there’s a monthly $25 maintenance fee, and a 9.9% service fee on transactions, meaning its more for people looking to unload a bunch of stuff at once or sustain a serious side gig or their own business. Maintenance fees are for waived your first month, though, so you can test the waters and set up your shop.
