When a consumer comes to a Realtor looking to list their home they are told the commission is negotiable. They 'negotiate' the commission with the listing agent they select. The home is listed. They would do well to look at that listing agreement carefully. They will notice that no buyer or selling agent is listed as a party to that agreement. That being the case they are not bound by it no matter what they are 'offered'.
When a buyer comes to a Realtor they may enter into an agreement regarding commission and the buyer may ask the seller to pay that commission when they make an offer. That commission might be lower than anticipated by the seller - or it might be higher.
There are two sides to each transaction - neither can unilaterally dictate the commission paid to the agent on the other side.
