Have ebay reference auction numbers 321683919055 (ended on March 8th), 321675983938 (ended February 21st), and the auction that you suspect the seller obtained the card from, auction number 121595915823 which ended on March 31st. All three auctions are for the same card, serial#36/49.
You may end up losing though since there's no proof of the serial#36/49 actually being sent to you as you no longer have the card in hand and it's now back in the seller's possession. As you pointed out, the auction didn't have the serial number in the description nor the title. The only place that the serial number appears is on the picture, which is blurry enough where she may be able to deny that the card is actually serial#36/49.
What you should get her on is the message she sent you regarding completing the auction direct and not going through ebay. If that message was sent via ebay then it'll be easily forwarded to the ebay investigator. That's a violation to list it on ebay and then use the site to solicit sales directly. Here's the link to that rule:

I like to think of this one as the Al Capone rule...if you can't get a seller or buyer based upon the most egregious charge, get them on the most simple...the fact that they wanted to do the transaction off of ebay.
