Bought some nice boots from seller in Victoria. The size of boots, seller said, was an 8. Looking at the picture of the boots they looked like a 7 to me. But I took sellers word for it. They arrived and they were too small. I ended up selling them to someone for $10.00. They cost $30.00 plus $13.00 postage. The listing said no returns. Im a slight despondent about it. Felt like telling the seller about it but havent.

I'd feel despondent too if I spent $43 on boots that didn't fit. If the seller made a mistake about the size listed on them, then no matter what the ad says about returns, you would be entitled to make a claim for item not as described. That way you would have received your money back & that is obviously a lot better than just getting $10.
I am wondering though why you had to ask the seller in the first place. Was the size not listed in the ad at all?
It doesn't matter one iota what size you thought they might be or what size they looked in the photo. It doesn't even matter if they fit you or not.
All that matters is what size they actually are. There should be a mark on them somewhere, either inside or on the sole, to tell you that. What does it say?
If it says 8 but they are on the small side, then that isn't the seller's fault.That is a risk you take when buying clothes or shoes on ebay.
If the shoes have some tag other than 8, what does it say? If it is a european sizing, it should say eg 39.
A UK size would say 6. I can't think of any where an aussie 8 would = 7 elsewhere so if the boots have 7 printed on them, then the seller is at fault.
With that postage, I am guessing it was a seller within Australia. If for some reason there is absolutely no marking as to size on these boots, you would have been better to ask for inside measurement rather than a guestimate as to size. Or not have bought at all. When in doubt, don't.
