Maybe I'm confused.....

But I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to sell their "billions" of gold.....

What is wrong with simply buying tons of badass gems, and and then selling those on the RMAH?
 
It's an idea. Keep in mind gems suffer from the same 15%/15% as gold does. You could also consider buying godly items and posting them. Nothing like paying a %15 + $1 fee on a $250 item :).
 
bcoz you gonna get 10-11 cents (in Eu), compared to 18 cents if gold sell ;o
 
Again, sorry for the newbness.

But, if I spend gold in the GOLD AH on gems, and then take those gems and sell them on the RMAH, i'll lose the same $ income as if I sell gold on the RMAH no?

Just that gold is harder to sell.

Is there are 15% fee for simply buying gems for gold in the gold AH?
 
yes , but buying radiant gems for gold , and then selling the gems for $ is like selling the gold for 15c/mil , and actually getting 10c bcoz of the blizz cut , you can calculate it yourself , when i was calculating it radiant emerald was 32 mil gold , and was selling for 4,8 euro , which is 15c/mil without taxes

Yes radiant gems are guaranteed to be sold but at a very much lowered China-gold-farmer-controlled-exchange rate:
1- China-gold-farmer-controlled-exchange rate is 20% (US) to 50% (European) (0.8 to 0.5 multiplier)
2- GAH gems are 20% more expensive than RMAH gems (0.8 multiplier)
3- RMAH gems are 20% less expensive than RMAH gems (0.8 multiplier)
4- RMAH gem sale tax fee is 28% (complex 15% + 15%) (0.72 multiplier)
5- End result you get between 23% to 36% (rounded down) of 0.25 euros/$ per 1 Mil gold
=> 0.05 to 0.09 euros/$ per 1 Mil gold

Pardon me if I double-factor incorrectly between points 1 to 2/3, because I'm running a high fever while typing this.

So, in short, I should just repeatedly try to sell my gold on the RMAH and hope a good amount sells, and then repeat the process?

(THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!! GREAT COMMUNITY!!!!!!)
 
I have done that for long time, there are more ways to get money whit bots. Only we need to be intelligent. Now I use other form for make money more productive, ,but it depends of market price.

Yeah, but gems are guaranteed to sell. Godly armors/weapons aren't.....

How are godly armor/weapons not guaranteed to sell? If they are godly like you say, they will sell. The problem is that the AH continually gets flooded with better and better items, which makes once-godly items, not so godly anymore. There will always be buyers for the best stuff during time period you are selling at.
 
Can't really understand / google - why paypal is taking 15 % tax? Does this happen only with gold selling or with any RMAH sell ?
Can anyone link me explanation or type it here, pls.
