• ... that a listing on eBay led to the discovery of a new species?
  ALT1: ... that Exquisite Urchins were being sold on eBay before they had been formally identified as a new species?
  ALT2: ... that the species Coelopleurus exquisitus had not been identified until a specimen was auctioned on eBay?

I would go with the original hook but suggest a slight alteration to:

... that a listing on eBay led to the discovery of a new species of exquisite urchin?
