The real-money auction house in Diablo III picked up some new additions to its inventory with the latest 1.0.3b patch, now allowing players to purchase such things as hard-to-find blacksmithing plans and jeweler designs.

The latest patch notes list dyes, gems, crafting materials and pages of training as also being available. Gold has not yet been implemented for purchase, but that feature should be coming soon.

Diablo III can be a grind-fest, but the new commodities should make it easier for players who prefer to pay through the wallet to make their trip through Inferno a bit easier.

      They are allowing it, they just haven't activated the gold selling (probably because there is going to be 50 billion gold up as soon as it opens :( )
