Blizzard to Take 15 Percent Cut of Real-Money Auctions I

I guess you may know that the Diablo 3 will be introduced a real-money auction house, which enables the Diablo 3 gamers buy and sell virtual items there and using their choice of virtual or real-life funds, like cheap diablo 3 gold. It is reported that the Blizzard plans to stick a 15 percent transaction fee on these purchases.

From the beginning, the idea of an auction house in which players barter with their own money in a centrally controlled medium has sparked controversy. On the "Getting Started" guide on Battle.net, Blizzard details the fees that any player is subject to when selling items. The transaction fee for equipment in the "Gold Auction House," which is the in-game currency room, is 15 percent of the final sale price. For the real-money house, there is a $1 fee per item. For commodities, such as gems, materials, dyes, recipes and pages, the fee is also 15 percent of the final sale price for both in-game and real-life currency.

There is an additional 15 percent fee if users wish to purchase through a third-party service such as PayPal, and Blizzard added that "additional fees may apply." The only loophole to this system is to place funds in a Battle.net balance, as ArcTechina indicates. This money can then be used to purchase digital editions of other Blizzard games and certain in-game items in other titles such as "World of Warcraft."

All real-world money trades max out at $250, and a limit of 10 concurrent items can be listed by a single user. For example, a player wouldn't be allowed to auction an item for $1,000, nor would users be able to list 100 items in the auction house. But there are loopholes to these regulations as well, such as farming with a team and selling four sets of unique items for $250 each, as GamingBlend writes. With a feature that mimicks eBay's buyout ability, players can rack up $1,000 on four unique items, and even after transferring the funds to PayPal and undergoing Blizzard's 15 percent tax rate, the net profit would amount to $850.

This is the first part and I will give you the second but last part later. I do wish you can make a better understanding about the auction house which is quite popular these days. Besides, you can also pre-order some buy diablo 3 gold in our website. Hope you have a nice time and good luck!
