Selling via auction

Another vote here for "somebody else's bargepole" with MMA.
If you want to get a good return, and think it'll sell easily, just market it normally.
If you want to get shot, or think there may be issues, a proper auction.
MMA is neither fish nor foul, and is simply a way for the EA to make a bit more money at the expense of putative buyers and sellers.

Mmm. Not sure about that.
The seller think they're getting a deal, because the buyer pays the fees, not them. Of course, it may well be that any buyer daft enough not to run from the very concept will simply reduce the offer by the amount of the fee bill they're being handed... But those buyers are probably naive enough not to do so - so the seller could be getting more from the sale, not less. But it's not guaranteed either way - so let's call it neutral for the seller.0
