Big news has been revealed about the RMAH(Real Money Auction House) in Diablo 3. Blizzard has come out and told us exactly how big fees will be associated with putting up auctions and it is actually not looking too bad in my opinion.
For items such as weapon and armor you will pay a flat fee of $1 if it sells.
For Gems, Gold and Materials it will be a 15% of the sales price.
There will also be a 15% fee to cash out to PayPal, something you can avoid paying if you just let the money go directly into your Battle.net Balance.
Finally the maximum sales price of an item will be $250
While the flat fee on weapons means that only really nice items will be viable for the RMAH, money, gems and materials will still be great for earning cash.
All in all I think Blizzard has made a good decission on the fee-level.
Another announcement was made as well that is putting a stick in my wheel though.
Remember how I was going to see how much I can earn on the first week as I have a very inconvenient holiday booked from the 21st of May? Well, Blizzard has announced that there will be no RMAH for the first week after launch.
Quite annoying, however I will get around it by stockpiling resources and level as high as I can. Hopefully I will have Internet in my hotel so I can put things up for sale still.
