is it the d or the non d?

The only way to definitively tell is to look at the aperture lock (switch-type is D, knob-type is non-D), which unfortunately is hidden by the hand in the picture.
If I had to guess, I'd say non-D because most (but not all) D versions have a D written next to the 2.8 on the barrel. If the seller can provide the serial number for the lens, you can determine approximately how old the lens is by looking it up here: http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html
If you can't inspect the lens before purchase or do not have a reliable return policy, I'd say skip this purchase.
