That ebay wire you have shown needs gas...Bob

There is FC SS wire that doesn't need gas but it isn't cheap.
General Purpose Flux Core (ER 308L FC-0)—For Types 301, 302, 304, and 308 stainless steel.

I am not sure of a gas valve do you have an owners manual? Your welder can be used with gas also. Do you have a bottle and regulator?...Bob

I need

Regulator
Co2/Argon gas

And change the polarity of the welder
