How much of that commission they pocket vs what the brokerage takes I don't know but it is still way over the top. I understand your frustration.

How are you forced to use them? If you don't want to use one, use welist and see if it's as easy as you think.
There's a reason that people still use agents, and not just list privately. Agents are a lot more useful then you think. Maybe you've just had bad agents?
Also, your commision seems way too high. I'm not sure what you're calculating that with but it doesn't seem right.
