No, you generally don't pay the seller's agent any commission in Singapore if you're the buyer and not using your own agent. Here's how it typically works:

* **Seller Pays Commission:** The seller usually pays a commission to their agent for marketing and facilitating the sale.
* **Commission Sharing:** In most cases, the seller's agent will share their commission with a buyer's agent if one is involved. However, if you (the buyer) don't have your own agent, the seller's agent keeps the full commission.

**Benefits of Using a Buyer's Agent (Optional):**

While you're not obligated to use a buyer's agent, they can offer several advantages:

* **Representation:** They can negotiate the purchase price and terms on your behalf, potentially saving you money.
* **Expertise:** They can guide you through the buying process, ensure you understand procedures, and answer your questions.
* **Market Knowledge:** They can provide insights into the property's value, comparable listings, and potential issues.

**Finding the Right Property:**

The website you find the property on likely doesn't influence who pays the commission. Focus on finding a property that meets your needs and budget.

**Recommendation:**

* **Research and Contact Seller's Agent:** Contact the seller's agent listed for the property. They can answer your questions about the property and the sales process.
* **Consider Using a Buyer's Agent (Optional):** Weigh the advantages of having your own representation against the cost of an agent's commission.

By understanding these aspects, you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the property and if using a buyer's agent would be beneficial for you.
