I don't know all the facts or the breeder in reference, but here are my thoughts.
It is very possible for a "900g" snake to be fed two or three large meals to balloon up to a "1100g" weight and be photographed, then lose 200g in several weeks by a breeder not continuing to feed an already "sold" snake. An "honest" breeder would not advertise as such, but the classifieds are filled with these types of deals and animals.
If you paid undermarket price, received an apparently healthy pastel that is eating, I would follow the advice already given. Mark the seller off your list and never due business again. The snake seems comparable in quality/size and IMO wouldn't be worth the fuss you'd have to go through.
I am not saying it's okay for this to happen, and I would also be upset. That is why I do not buy from people I don't know or trust, and when you do in this business you are always rolling the dice. It's a sad fact. IMO, as sad as it is, you lucked out on a bad/dishonest deal. Chalk it up to experience and breed that girl to something nice and as already mentioned, tripple your money back the first breeding.
I am sorry for your frustration.
Goodluck.
