I highly suspect the seller agent is playing tricks. Unless the agent agrees to take his/her 3%, and leave the rest of the money on the table. Otherwise he is pocketing all the commissions, and where is the saving coming from?

There is no reason for the seller to give up 10 grand. It does not make any difference to the seller whether there is a buyer agent or not (he pays a fix %), unless he has a very very special deal with the seller agent. Or seller agent could trick the seller to accept a lower offer, but he is not fulfilling his fiduciary duties, and is not ethical at the least.
It is not ethical but 4% is better than 3%. So I think the listing agent is telling the reality.
