Fulfill Your New Year's Resolution on RubyLane.com

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With the holidays a distant memory, and the daily routine back to a normal pace, many have turned their attention to fulfilling their new year's resolutions. One common new year's resolution is to make more money. Putting your passion to work can often help you achieve your monetary resolutions.

“Each year, new Ruby Lane shop owners regale us with stories of why they opened a shop on the site,” says Palmer Pekarek, Director of Communications and New Business Development at RubyLane.com. “My favorite story comes from a retired couple in San Diego, California who after 30 years of traveling the world and collecting vintage toys, opened a shop on Ruby Lane,” says Pekarek. “Learning to sell on Ruby Lane was one of their new year's resolution. While it was difficult for them to part with some of their toy collection, they use their shop income to continue their world travels and seek out vintage inventory for their shop.”

Know for being user friendly, sellers turn to Ruby Lane for its 14 year reputation, ease of setting up a shop, seller tools and features, and value.

To help sellers be successful, Ruby Lane introduced several new features in 2011, including Skype. “Skype was introduced so buyers and sellers can communicate better,” says Pekarek. “Additionally, social networking sites have been integrated into the site - so buyers and sellers can choose to 'Like' an item on Facebook, tweet it on Twitter, and/or send it to social sites such as Digg and Stumbleupon, to name just a few.”

With more than 2,500 shops and 450,000 items, tour Ruby Lane and see what online shoppers have known for 14 years. “Ruby Lane is about caring sellers, quality items at great values, and outstanding customer service,” says Pekarek.
