Except in most instances it's not the buyer who pays the commission it's the seller...

That's just playing a shell game. The one showing up with money is the buyer. Writing it down on a piece of paper that the money goes to the seller then the realtor doesn't effectively change anything.

If you are selling one house, you are usually buying another.
