I am sure that is it is possible that the story that she told about her husband is true. However, knowing eBay, it is more likely that someone e-mailed her that 1) they would pay her significantly more or 2) alerted her that she basically gave the pennant away dirt cheap. You could have asked her how much more she wanted to complete the sale with you instead of re-listing the item. That might have outed her true intentions.

I would definitely send a copy of the e-mail to eBay for review and see what they say. Good luck, sorry you didn't get the deal that you thought you were getting.
