I bought a K-Tuned RaceHeader from eBay in 2016 and put about 15K miles on it. More specifically I bought the more expensive $600 stainless steel version KRH-RSX-K20 and not the $300 budget one.

Currently, I have another race header installed and I am trying to sell the KTuned one. I ended up buying the $600 race header from eBay because K-Tuned wouldn't let me ship to another address that wasn't the billing address (Had it shipped to the shop).

Below are pictures of the race header. Is it normal for the stainless steel to have this much oxidation or did this ebay seller (hptautosport) sell me the budget header?

I had this one guy interested in buying it but after he saw pictures of the header, he says that I bought the non stainless steel version because the stainless isn't suppose to lose its shine.

Seems like the more expensive header by looking at the ebay link. If the header looked shiny like the photo then you got the more expensive header. I personally purchased the 409 budget header and the color got really dark in 2 months as if I owned the header for years. So maybe he sold you the budget header. Im not too sure if the 309 or whatever header can rust but I think it holds up better than the budget header.
