Buy/Sell for gold

When the game is released on May 15, I am going to create a section about Softcore/Hardcore Trading -player to player. All trades are items/commodities for gold.  This will be on the North American server.  If anyone has suggestions as to what I should add as a topic, please don't hesitate to post.

What will make more $$ a month, WOW or Diablo3?

It's possible Diablo 3 will, but it comes down to one simple fact: Will Paypal charge their normal transfer out fees? Because if this is the case, we're doomed. I remember trying to transfer money that I had put into Paypal, back into my bank account. I didn't know they would charge an amount of money for the transfer; after the job was done, I was left owing Paypal. Do people know enough of Paypal's business ethics to place their faith in them? The answer is NO. I'm afraid if Paypal doesn't wise up, then Act/Blizzards profits will dry up and Paypal/Ebay will lose out on profits at the same time. I can't say if Diablo 3 will earn more cash than WOW within 3 months time.  My crystal ball is broken.

Maybe this is bogus information.

A guy I know who is supposed to be a gaming know-it-all, has leaked information about Activision/Blizzard not dealing with Paypal any more regarding Paypal being the third party for RMAH transactions. Also, I heard Blizzard will be handling the transactions on their own because the majority of gamers want nothing to do with Paypal's possible 20% money grab per transaction. If fees exceed 40% in total, then the whole RMAH concept should be trashed. If this information were to be true, I would like to know why nobody has mentioned this.

Real Money Auction House

For those who are wondering what RMAH is; it is an acronym for Diablo 3, REAL MONEY AUCTION HOUSE. So, in-game items will be sold on the auction house for real cash, with Paypal being the third party handling the transactions. The alternative is; if you don't want the cash, but rather put the money towards Blizzard items, etc.., then the proceeds from the sale of your item(s) can be held in a battle.net account until you are ready to make a purchase.   Now, for those of us who already know about the RMAH,  I will be gathering and sending any information that has anything to do with it.  I am doing this to learn how to become a better trader, and maybe help a few people out.
