Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye, and can be caused by several different things. I am more familiar with children and viral conjunctivitis 'pinkeye', having seen numerous cases, and even though contagious one would not expect death.
If the conjunctivitis was due to some sort of chemical contamination that got into its eyes and possible its whole system, it would be difficult to attribute it to either you or the seller without more info because one would have to know more about the substance and when and where the turtle came into contact.
I am so sorry about the death of your turtle.
