Introducing the Remote Auction House
The Remote Auction House is now available on iPhone and from any computer with a web browser. I have to admit that I'm a little scared of how the system could be abused but I'll assume that Blizzard is full of smart people who added protections against that.
When the beta test is over, it will cost $2,99/month to buy and sell from the Auction House remotely.
