0Diablo III Auction House Update - No RMAH For One Week Post Launch
Along with Global Play, Blizzard has just updated their site with new info on the RMAH.

We've just updated the Diablo III web site with a comprehensive Auction House guide that walks you through the ins and outs of Diablo III's in-game item marketplace, including details on buying and selling, a breakdown of how the real-money auction house works (in regions where available), and more. You'll also find some important information on Battle.net account-security requirements that players interested in using the real-money auction house will need to know about.
The gold-based auction house opens its doors worldwide on May 15 with the launch of Diablo III, and we plan to bring the real-money auction house online approximately one week after that. This is a new service that includes lots of complex elements, so we are going to take a little extra time to ensure the game gets off to a good start before we flip the switch and open the real-money auction house for business.
For more information, head to the freshly minted Diablo III Auction House website, or check out the updated Auction House FAQ.

Introducing Global Play for Diablo III
Blizzard has just posted some more info on the 'Global Play' feature of Diablo III

Diablo III's global game servers are grouped into three distinct game regions:
Note that characters, items, and friends lists do not transfer across regions. Playing on a different region's servers means you'll be creating characters and friends lists specifically for that region and you'll be accessing the gold-based auction house for that region.
In addition, players will only have access to the real-money auction house (where applicable) when playing in their "home" game region. That means that, for characters outside of your home region, items cannot be bought or sold in any real-money auction house. The focus of Global Play is simply to give you the ability to play Diablo III together with your friends in any region.
For more information on Global Play in Diablo III, see the FAQ.
Diablo III's global game servers are grouped into three distinct game regions:
- The Americas - For players in the US, Canada, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.
- Europe - For players in the European Union, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, and Middle Eastern countries such as Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
- Asia - For players in South Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
Note that characters, items, and friends lists do not transfer across regions. Playing on a different region's servers means you'll be creating characters and friends lists specifically for that region and you'll be accessing the gold-based auction house for that region.

do you honestly think they're aren't capable of having hundreds or thousands of bnet accounts with Americas addresses? not to mention the gross number of unreported compromised accounts

Am I the only one thinking that 15% is a bit too much ?

Considering that the products you're selling cost you no overhead to ship or procure, no.

Omg real cash auction house goes up 1 week after. I wanted to get into the very early market... Now I can only use the gold one.

You sort of will. Gold is eventually going to be worth real money (when RMAH launches) so just convert your gold to cash at that time and you'll have already started to profit in the early market.
By the way with the double-dipping of charges, if I end up with something extremely valuable like a well rolled-Windforce...I'm going to be going to outside channels to sell it. Blizzard is pricing themselves out-of-market for high dollar items (imo).
