In the gold-based auction house, a 15% transaction fee will be deducted from the final sale price of a successful auction.
In the real-money auction-house, for equipment such as weapons and armor, a fixed transaction fee will be deducted from the seller for each piece of equipment successfully sold. This fee is assessed only if the item is sold. For commodities such as crafting materials, gems, gold, and other “stackable” items, a 15% transaction fee will be deducted from the total sale price.

Note that additional fees apply for players who choose to receive the proceeds of their successful auction via PayPal™ (in regions where this option is available). See the Functionality section of this FAQ for further details.

So much for that ignore and having a life thing but please feel free to drag me into your rants, the love washes over meDude you and every other swinging dick out there. I have at least two friends who think they might be able to quit their jobs and just work the Diablo auction hall.
That's the plan alright, quit the job, sell the house, play Diablo 3 professionally It was obviously said in jest. I could care less about working the auction hall, I'll likely never even use the functionality since I play Hardcore and it will have no RMAH.
Maybe if I played softcore I'd get the odd rare and throw it up in the hopes that some idiot will buy it but the reality is that gold will probably be more valuable. Just look at the jewels alone, it's going to require a disgusting amount of gold to train all of the artisan levels. A copy of Diablo 3 costs $50-60 which isn't exactly a huge amount of money so it's not like, outside the realm of possibility that a person could make back the cost of their copy though.
The P2W aspects of the game are kind of meaningless to me because the other person isn't really winning anything given the structure of the MP. I care more about the restrictions the whole setup places on the connectivity options but the reality is that I will mostly play MP with friends so it ultimately won't affect me. I can certainly sympathize with those that it will though.
