Some OEM's (ex: dell) shut off the SR-IOV ability on their NIC's because 
reasons.
Please provide an lspci -n and lspci -v -v for that device so we can see 
what OEM it is.

I would return it and have them send you a real one that isn't nerfed, 
also FYI most NIC's on ebay are counterfeit so be careful what you buy.
