Blizzard vs. Real Money Trading (RMT)

[Wiccan]

More info on RMAH....

You can't "cash out" your balance.
At the time of sale you decide if the proceeds will go through paypal to your real money account or if it will go to whatever blizzard calls their currency.

You can transfer real money into Blizzard currency, but not the other way around unless it's done indirectly --> buy item on AH for blizz-bucks, sell on AH through paypal, incurring multiple middle-man cuts and increasing the risk involved.

This certainly puts an interesting spin on things, and not being able to directly cash out may help some with the 'suspension of reality' issues.

oh wow that will be good to see happen with" item sellers" that think they can cash out as fast as they get the money once they get a buyer, i can see this being as way to stop rmt operators from trying to jack up prices and not getting what they wanted for the item and being forced to keep it as blizzard currency not totally real money this will be interesting to see how many farmers there will be in diablo 3.
