Diablo 3 Will include Real Money Auction House


Real Money Auction House, a special feature introduced by Blizzard that will change the future of online gaming forever. This feature will basically allow the players to buy and sell in game goods for real money. Blizzard will take a "nominal" flat-rate fee for each listing and sale, and an additional fee if players choose to cash out payments for sold items via a third-party payment provider such as PayPal. There will be separate auction houses for each region and currency. Another separate, but functionally identical auction house will exist for players who wish to trade using in-game gold rather than real currency. Players will be able to trade items, components and game gold on the auction house. Blizzard is considering allowing the sale of game characters, too. Trading via the auction house will be completely anonymous. Players will be allowed a small number of free listings per week to encourage participation in the currency auction house, making it possible to begin trading without making any payments.
