I'd say 19" is big. I had an 18" WSD MTB for a bit and I'm 5'9.5 with long legs and shorter reach (my roadbikes are 54s)

As a starter. Presumably she's going to sit on them all and ride each round the block. It's got to be right for her after all

Just message the seller and ask to view. Simples (most will be happy to end the listing early for cash too so take readies with you
).I wouldn't buy any bike without trying and checking over. Are you looking on Gumtree and Facebook too?

I'm 5ft 9 and ride Medium 17". So depending upon leg length, small medium 15-17" is better.
17 will be fine. Seems decent enough value, especially at 150. The kind of thing you'd likely get your money back for, or certainly three figures, in a couple years if she wants to change. Benefits, price wise from 26" falling completely (well, nearly) out of favour/fashion.
