clinchers use a tube tire combo, the bead of the tire rests under the lip on the rim. most bikes have that. Tubulars are basically tires that are glued or taped on the rim, there is no lip on the rim.
tubular

clincher

It may often be very difficult to tell from nothing more than a photo. Email the seller if there's enough time left in the auction(s).

Clincher rims have flange that stick up to hold the tire beads. Tubular wheels don't. They are smooth along the outside circumference.
