Archive: What is the cost of a Ruby Lane shop? (Effective August 1, 2021)

Our Fee Structure is listed below. There are no hidden costs or long-term contracts.

Fees
Effective August 1, 2021

Setup Fee

None

Listing Fee Free
Maintenance Fee

$25 per month, includes Unlimited items

  • Charged on the 1st of every month
  • New shops are free during the month that they open
  • Fee is prorated for shops that close during the month
No Maintenance Fee

Add at least 15 items during the month to receive a rebate of $25. 

Example:
You are billed $25 on the first of the month. Add 15 items during that month, and you will get a rebate of $25 after adding the 15th item.

Service Fee

9.9% based on the Order total (does not include Sales Tax), Capped at $250 *

The minimum monthly cost of maintaining a shop on Ruby Lane is $25, and $0 if the Maintenance Fee Rebate requirements are met (Maintenance Fee Rebate is effective beginning the month after the shop is opened.)

*The Service Fee cap is applicable to each item on an Order, irrespective of the quantities purchased, provided that relates to a single listing where an item has multiple quantities. For example, if an Order includes a decorative plate, listed as a single item, with 10 available, and those were all purchased together for a total of $5000, the total Service Fee for those 10 plates collectively would be capped at $250. If the plates had been listed as individual items and purchased together on a single Order, the total service fee would be $49.50 each, totaling $495 for all the items on the Order.

Please note that these Fee Structures may not apply to items sold during a hosted event**

†  $25 Rebate can be earned beginning the next full month a shop is open. The original 10 items do not apply to the 15 required for the rebate.
