Everything is negotiable. In the US, the closing costs are mostly a buyer expense. The Seller has some closing costs such as commission to a listing agent if one is used, deed preparation, and revenue stamp fees charged by the state or locality. Often the buyer will have the seller pay a portion of closing costs to conserve cash, while paying a slightly higher price. Many large builders are also in the mortgage business and pay some closing costs to have another revenue stream.

Is there a law that states the seller only pays 3 percent of the closing costs?
Yes, but only for FHA loans. As of last week many FHA guidelines were changed. One of those Guidelines include the percentage buyers can obtain in Seller provided closing cost. Previously, a buyer could receive up to 6% of the purchase price from the seller for nonrecurring closing cost (in the state of California and I believe nationwide but I am not sure). As of last week the max is 3%. This reduction is said to prevent inflation of sell prices. Generally, a seller will increase the asking price of any given property with the assumption that the buyer will require up to 6% back to cover closing cost, this process inflates the market value of a house.
