Recently my 10 year old daughter was unable to attend a friend's birthday party. However we still purchased a gift for her that cost thirty dollars and brought it to her friend at school. The very next day her friend informed her that she had sold it on a website (similar to Ebay) because she didn't want it. My daughter was extremely hurt by this because we spent good time and money choosing a gift that we hoped she would like. To outright tell my daughter that she didn't like it was hurtful, and to share the fact that she had sold it added insult to injury. Apparently her mother even went to the trouble of going to the store to see how much it cost, which I'm imagining was to help them determine how much to sell it for. My question is, should I contact the mother to let her know how upset my daughter was by this behaviour? Should my daughter talk to her friend about it? She's wondering if she even wants to be friends with this little girl anymore because she hurt her so badly.

i would probably contact the mother, but don't do it in a confrontational manner. i would start out by asking her if she knows what her child did. just because a 10 year old said that, she may have been trying to look better or make herself feel "cool" by selling something online.
you could find out the true story from her mother, and if that is the truth, there's not much you can do about it.
but if her daughter was stretching the truth, then you can explain to your daughter what really happened.
girls will always be this way...you just have to learn how to deal with them and this seems like a perfect situation for you to teach your daughter how.
