There is a pair of Inline Skates on Ebay I want. I wear size 10.5 mens and I notice that when I wear skates, the size is usually your normal foot size plus 3 inches, is this true?

Well all of you are wrong! I have worn CCM, Reebok, Bauer as well as Mission. Mission is the only skate which is supposed to be the same as your shoe size. The others size down but it depends on your foot width and if you like your skates snug or more loose. I wear a size 12 shoe and a 12D Mission or a 10D in all of the other brands. If you have a wide foot I would suggest CCM/Reebok (same company).
I was just recently in your same predicament, I found some Reebok 5K ice skates on E-Bay for about half of retail cost. I swapped the blades for a roller chassis. I saved a lot of $$$ on E-Bay for everything.
You have to try them on at a skate shop first! You never know how they might fit, every skate is different. You seem to be new to this so I strongly suggest you try them on first!

No, that is not correct.
A proper fit for skates should fit 1-1.5 sizes smaller than you street shoes. Toes should barely touch the toe cap, while having no more than 1/2 inch of space in the heel. when finished lacing skates up, skates should feel snug with the foot resting flat on the footbed. When sizing children, follow above methods while allowing 1/2 size extra for growth. Most skates use this formula except Mission skates, which run true to shoe size. A poor fitting skate can create bad habits and breakdown prematurely while holding back skate performance.

No, I wear a 10.5 shoe and an 11 skate. The sizes are the same. I don't think they make half sizes in skates.

I think you actually want a size smaller than your normal shoe size since skates need to be on a lot tighter than a shoe needs to be.
