Buyer wants me to pay a higher commission to their agent than my own

Selling my place. My agent is getting 2.5%. Received an offer that I feel is fair but then realized their agent put in that we pay her a 3% fee. We countered with paying 2.5% - which is now standard in the area - and they are holding firm. What gets me is that the agent didn't even find my home, the buyer knew I was selling because we had discussed previously on social media so the agent literally opened a lock box for her and wrote up a contract. It doesn't feel right to pay the buyers agent more than mine when the buyers agent did far less work. Has anyone else had a similar situation?
