Boots

[michellebartley]

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.

What help was Michelle asking for?

What help have you given her?

What help can anybody give her when she has disposed of the evidence?

Tippy's expressions of frustration are considerably better than your own posts which are basically just insulting and abusive.  If you were aware of the history of the OP and her extremely frequent and wild and imaginative accounts of her adventures with buying on eBay, you could appreciate where the frustration is coming from.

maybe its the new aussie post delivery system, you pay more but get less.

Not sure what help she was asking for, I'd say it was more a case of her sharing her experience so others don't get caught out as she did.

I agree, I can't help the OP as the shoes are now gone.

The only advice I can give is, being a size 10 Australian myself, I have to be careful when shopping for shoes online, as many sellers go off the size written on the shoes tounge, in particular they usually state the U.S. Size, which in my case would make me a size 11. Hope you don't get caught out again Michelle, and sorry to hear of your recent unfortunate transaction

I have sold a shedload of boots and shoes in UK sizes 8, 9,10 and 11 which I always say are the equivalent of an Australian size 10, 11, 12 and 13. I also give measurements and have never had a buyer ask to return them because they do not fit.

Of course I don't expect I have had a buyer who has ignored the information I give because they thought their ouija board was more accurate.

You really need to get out more.

I really don't know what the problem is.

I always buy my (small) Size 10s from photographs - no need to worry what size they really are.

I guess if they work out to be too small you could always cut the toes off to allow you more space...........or cut your own toes off! Problem solved. See, there are simple solutions to most of life's little problems.

We are beginning to sound like Cinderella's step-sisters.

They cut their toes to try to fit the glass slipper - didn't they.

Michelle, if they were the Vivienne Westwood boots, you left feedback for the seller  "very, very nice, happy thank you".  Why would you do that & then complain here?
