Not to sound cold about it, but if he made the mistake then the cost of shipping is his problem, not yours. You made the purchase in good faith. If it isn't the part you ordered, work with eBay and the seller to get the right part. He should make good, as this is an example of how he got good feedback, by making sure what you bought is what you got.
I've done it. Sold a lens on a photo forum site. I honestly had forgotten that there was a slight mark on the coating of the front element. It had no impact on image quality, but I made the mistake of listing it as "minty". The buyer noticed it upon receipt and let me know. I paid to ship it back and refunded him the entire cost. I wrote it off as my penalty for not paying attention.

If you can send it back at no cost to you, do it. Take the money and buy her a book - you said she likes to read.
