The real-money auction house will support the following regional payment methods at launch:

[h=4]What options are available for receiving the proceeds of auction house sales in each region?[/h]
Players who have access to any real-money auction house will have the ability to store auction earnings in their Battle.net Balance (up to the maximum permitted Battle.net Balance) . As an advanced feature, players in certain regions will have the additional option to have the proceeds sent to their PayPal account instead of storing the earnings in their Battle.net Balance. The process of transferring proceeds to PayPal will be subject to a 15% transfer fee, calculated based on the amount being transferred.Players must choose which method they wish to use prior to posting an auction, on a per-auction basis.
Note that if receiving the proceeds of a sale into a player’s Battle.net Balance would put that player over the maximum permitted balance, the player must receive the proceeds through PayPal or other approved third-party payment service (in regions where available). In these cases, the player will be instructed to contact customer service for further assistance. In regions where an approved third-party payment service is not available, once a player’s Battle.net Balance reaches the maximum permitted balance, the player cannot make further sales on the real-money auction house.
