Recently, eCommerceBytes.com (formerly AuctionBytes.com), an independent trade publication for online merchants, released its 2012 Seller’s Choice Marketplace Ratings. Ruby Lane ranked as the number two online marketplace to sell on.

More than 7,200 online sellers rated 16 ecommerce sites including eBay, Amazon, Bonanza, Craigslist, Etsy, TIAS and Ruby Lane. eCommerceBytes survey researched online sellers opinions on sites' profitability, customer service, communication, ease of use and if they would recommend the site to others.

We are pleased to report that Ruby Lane not only ranked second overall (just behind Amazon.com), but sellers ranked Ruby Lane's customer service and communications #1. It is very meaningful to have such high praise from our shop owners. Thanks to all of our shops who took the time to fill out the eCommerceBytes survey.

Survey results, like those from the eCommerceBytes survey, are great indicators of where we are doing a good job, and where we can improve.

Our entire team is committed to providing both buyers and sellers with the best online experience possible. We encourage all shops to check-out the complete Auction Bytes survey, results, and related comments at: 2012 Sellers Choice Awards
