Returns & Withdrawal Policy
Last updated: 2026-09-13
Rūbas is a marketplace where private individuals sell to private individuals. The return rules follow from that, so here's the plain, honest explanation.
Purchases from private sellers
The statutory 14-day right to withdraw from a distance contract (Lithuanian Civil Code, EU Consumer Rights Directive) applies only when a consumer buys from a trader. Rūbas sellers sell as private individuals, so this right does not apply to marketplace purchases.
This means a winning bid or a Buy Now purchase is final. Before bidding, read the description and measurements carefully, review all photos, and if anything's missing — ask the seller via messages.
If the item doesn't match the description
A final purchase doesn't leave you unprotected. If the item you receive differs materially from the description or photos — for example undisclosed major flaws, a different size than stated, or the item isn't authentic — do this:
- Within 48 hours of delivery, message the seller via Rūbas: describe the problem and attach photos.
- If you can't resolve it with the seller, report it to us at info@rūbas.lt — we'll review the listing, the conversation and the evidence.
- In justified cases we mediate the return of the item to the seller and the refund to the buyer. For counterfeits, the prohibited-items rules apply — such listings are removed and seller accounts may be blocked.
Always send a returned item by a tracked method and keep the proof of postage.
Withdrawing from the Rūbas service
The platform itself is operated by MB Borealis. Using a Rūbas account is free, so you can close your account at any time by writing to us — there are no service payments to refund.
If, as a consumer, you wish to formally withdraw from the service contract within 14 days of registering, you may use the model form below or any other clear statement.
