During a huge unofficial Q&A session Chris had with Normal Global Chat a week ago, Chris mentioned that there will most likely be an implemented Auction House in PoE. The idea is to enhance trade in a way that isn't spammy in Global Chat.
Now before any AH opponents start to freak out, GGG has actually taken the necessary precautions to make sure that the AH doesn't break the feel of the game like it has in other ARPG's. They are making it so that there is no buyout price on the AH so that the feeling of more convenient trade doesn't completely trump the need to go out and search for items yourself, while building bids will increase the profit of trading and simultaneously require a large time investment for both parties.
Personally, I would think of it just as improved trading methods. Chris even said that it wasn't exactly an AH that we've grown to know in other games.
This is new. Did you take any screenshots, or was anyone else here also there to corroborate this?
I have been very careful to say that there will not be an Auction House in PoE.
Our trade system has been discussed elsewhere and doesn't involve buyouts.

Thank heavens. The auction house crap attracts farmers and turns the game into a grind for 'valuables' at the expense of community.
