I added uk.rec.cycling, as they're more likely to be able to help you.
I'm assuming from your email address and word choice that you are in the
UK currently.

Of course photos of the rack, details as to whether it's a roof / trunk /
hitch rack, and what car you're attaching it to would all help.

As would, of course, asking these questions BEFORE purchasing.

Well, yes. But I was trying to be nice. Of course, I see they posted
almost the same thing with a different nym in rb.tech, which is... odd.

Same here. Just thought it needed pointing out, politely and with
restraint.

Indeed.

Standard scammy ebay seller's practice of regurgitating every brand name
he can think of, irrespective of whether it has anything to do with the
product actually being offered for sale or not. Kona, Scott, Specialized
and Orange are all brands of bicycle. As far as I know, none of them
make car racks, although Specialized may do so. But there is certainly
no such thing as a 'kona/scott specialized orange bike rack'.

As an addendum, I would advise not buying from this ebay vendor; if he's
prepared to be scammy and dishonest about his product description, how
can you trust him at all?
