I put up a item for 100$... Blizzard takes 50 Cent from me (Listing Fee). Somebody buys the Item, Blizzard again takes 50 Cent from me (succesful Transaction Fee). I choose the cash out option so the money is transfered to my Paypal Acc and Blizzard takes XY% (lets assume 10% for now) from the cash I made (Cash Out Fee). So its 99$-10%of99$ = 89.1$ that I get on my PayPal Acc. And if I want to transfer from my PayPal Acc to my Banks Acc I will very likely pay again, this time to PayPal. I dont know how high the fee is that PayPal takes (if it exists) but at the end of the day I get (I will assume 5% PayPal Fee...) 84.65$.
So during the whole process you lose 15.35$ Oo
Please note that all the numbers are just assumptions to show how it works... my bet would be that the flat fees are much lower maybe like 10 Cent...
And I for myself dont really care for the % fees... I will never cash out the money... and I will never put in my own money so *shrug* who cares. But I can understand why people dont like the whole idea of %fees... especialy after Blizz always said they want to keep the fees flat.
no paypal would be the third party in which you get the money, paypal will let you do it right to your bank account, no charge, the fee blizzard is taken is part of that "paypal" fee.
I have a problem that the information provided by Blizzard, before today, led people to believe that they wouldn't make a percentage. That being said the percentage fee will likely be low as to discourage third party sites. Why use a third party site if the fee is around 10 percent? Also the cash out option only discourages people farming gear for real money (Chinese farms and younger kids mostly) which makes me glad. I would prefer that people didn't farm gear in the game (for money) because it will stagnate the item economy faster.
If you sell something via paypal to another users, You do have to pay a fee. However, when a company uses paypal as a third party to let users put money into their bank accounts, the company pays the fee (in this case blizzard).
Now theres always the chance they could have an "odd" deal with paypal, but I can pretty safely say they would not make you take "double" fee there. Some of the % blizzard takes out, will go to paying the "paypal" fee.
Blizzard is going to want you to keep your money as a blizzard currency, and they do want to make some money+pay the fees...so I would say 5%-20% area, with 10% being the most likely.
wow 3 years for Diablo expansion? The WoW expansions have to amount to a hell of a lot more work and I don't think any of them took that long. I know he said "within 3 years" but really it should have read 2.

Within 3 years not in 3 years.
The expansion could be out in 1 year after release.
You didn't even bother to read my last sentence. So I didn't bother to read yours.
Re everyone else on the % for cash out...they made it clear that they want you to stay within the bnet system with your money. Buy Blizzard products/subs, buy stuff in the AH. They want to give you incentive to list what you think the product is worth, and not be worried about balance changes destroying that value. Blizzard offers the cash out system because the players want it, but Blizzard knows it works against them by not keeping the money in the economy. It's like when mexicans come to America and send their money back to Mexico.
Yeah, two wow expansions in the next three years. Given their desire to push out expansions quicker, I wouldn't be surprised if we see three in three years.

I just dont understand when it became "bad" for a company to make money of one of their good ideas.
