===Preventing Item Flood===
[[File:Ah_search.jpg|thumb|250px|The search window for the AH.]]
Item flood was a long-time worry for specualtive Diablo fans when faced with the prospect of an Auction House. Item flood consists of a player putting up junk items that had little-to-no value in the auction house in bulk, effectively flooding the market with things that nobody would conceivably want, making searching a difficult and frustrating prospect.
In addition to this, there may be a gold surcharge for selling an item in the Diablo III auction house, but this has yet to be seen. It has been an initiative in WoW since the AH’s debut, and this acts as a gold sink. Up to 10% of a seller’s winnings in the AH would go to the gold sink, as a fee for using the auction house.
