Reading AuctionBytes: Online Antiques Mall RubyLane to Lower Maintenance Fee

RubyLane said it was rolling out a new maintenance fee structure on April 1st to help celebrate its ten year anniversary. Beginning April 1, 2008, the Maintenance Fee structure is as follows:

• Up to 50 items in your shop: $15 per month (this is the minimum maintenance fee) No Change
• 50 to 150 items in your shop: 30 cents per item (No Change)
• 151 items or more: 20 cents per item: (New)

As an example, under the old maintenance fee structure, a shop that listed 300 items would be charged $90 (300 items at 30 cents = $90 monthly Maintenance Fee). Under the new structure, a shop that lists 150 items at 30 cents + 150 items at the new lower fee of 20 cents would have a $75 monthly Maintenance Fee. The company said that research showed the more items shops offer for sale, the greater the sales success.
