Real Estate Selling Fees %

hi all,
i tried doing a search but everything seems fairly old. Friend wants to sell his place ASAP while the market is hot plus they have an eye on a house thats been on the market for a while. They have spoken to one agent today who's fees was 3.3% and 11%! for each dollar over some threshhold (eg. if they list it as $280-$300k each $1 over $300k 11% will go to the agent)
Anyways they want to speak to a couple more agents this week but really want to decide as soon as possible as easter is coming up.
Anyone in Melb willing to share how much they were charged to sell their property? or have an idea of the average going rate? Just want them to get a bit more details so they can have a bit more of a negotiation power.
The agent they saw today does hold a very big market in the area...around 50% of the listing in this area (Bayswater/Boronia) is with this agent. Well this is what they said and have advertised.
thanks
