Estate agents commission on valuation price?

The EA would have no incentive to sell any property for the best price if their commission is based on their own valuation price."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

Every EA near you does this?! Very strange.
If things are moving near you, I would be tempted to try an online agency. Either that, or try to negotiate with them re their fee being at sale price, and no fee to come out of the deal.
