That's just called a rear bike rack. A pannier is the bag that goes onto a bike rack (more or less).

So you're selling the Ibera Bike Rack?

Don't fall for this scammer.
My son uses this pannier to carry his trumpet case vertically. Sometimes we put a bungee cord around the case at the top of the rack to keep the case from swaying.
I found that the rack top is too narrow to hold the trumpet case sideway. He has this rack with separate top and side rails, so he can still mount to the rack top as the pannier is mounted on the lower side rail.
Edit: photo of the setup.
I highly recommend a rack + panniers. I just switched from using a backpack to a rack + panniers on my commute and it's MUCH nicer.
I got these:

For less than $100 bucks you'll be much more comfortable.
P-clamps are a great solution for attaching a rack when you don't have eyelets.
Here's an excellent article (with helpful photos) on how to install a rack with p-clamps: http://www.bikecommuters.com/2008/07/19/p-clamps-are-your-friends/
Here's a good breakdown and Nitto branded p-clamp from Rivendell Bikes: https://www.rivbike.com/products/nitto-band-clamps-pair?variant=23336804161
Attach at the upper eyelets and then use 2 p-clamps (one on each side) to attach the lower points of the rack. Once you have your p-clamps, then any rear rack will do depending on your needs - I use the non-disc version of this (link to the disc brake version): https://smile.amazon.com/Ibera-Bike-Rack-Frame-Mounted-Adjustable/dp/B002T5H8MW?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2 which is great and affordable (under $30).
That's definitely a steal. Have heard good things about these Tubus racks.
However, anyone have experience with an Ibera PakRak:

Looks like a good deal. I'm looking for a rear rack that can accept panniers.
Right now, I have this Topeak Explorer rack on my Schwinn Varsity:

My bike is a commuter but I am planning on taking it on some short weekend / week-long tours this summer, hopefully going for a month long tour at the tail end of summer.
Thanks for any insight, everyone! Cheers!
I put an Ibera Rack on my BikesDirect CX Bike without issues. I used the one for disk brakes. It can be installed at different angles, and I've never had a rattle or a squeak from it. I liked the way the Ibera looked, and it works well with its companion bags.
I only have the one bag, so the bike was unbalanced at a stand-still, but I really liked it. It has a shower-cap bag stowed in a bottom pocket for when it rains. I managed to put two 2-liters and my personal and work laptops in the one bag once. It was tight, but fit.
The TOPEAK bags and racks are much more popular, for sure.
If you have serious trouble with the screws squeaking, you can use split-washers to hold tension on them.
FWIW I used these every day all last summer without issue: https://smile.amazon.com/Ibera-Bicycle-Clip-on-Quick-Release-Panniers/dp/B009LNOXF0/ref=pd_sim_468_12?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B009LNOXF0&amp;pd_rd_r=HMXDHHDFM28KD6DMQ0RP&amp;pd_rd_w=h5S82&amp;pd_rd_wg=NeSH1&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=HMXDHHDFM28KD6DMQ0RP

$120ish all in, but worth it.
It looks like there are eyelets for rack mounts so any rack like this should work https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002T5H8MW/ref=s9_top_hd_bw_bEHOX_g468_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&amp;pf_rd_r=ZWM7T83HJTAQ5WKKA7WP&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=4fa95ac1-9313-504c-a40b-72e9b9823f04&amp;pf_rd_i=3403461
Panniers are can be a bit more 'sized'. Are your boots high tops? I'm thinking something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ET9W146/ref=abs_brd_tag_dp?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Full disclosure I have a Blackburn rear rack and some large drawstring top Jaand panniers I found used.
Ibera PakRak which works with their PakRak bags and panniers - like this insulated grocery bag.
You can also of course attach non-Ibera bags/baskets to the rack.
Lol, thats the exact trailer that I have. I saw a rack on Amazon that looks like it's going to work. I guess I shouldnt really worry about bags till I have a decent rack. What do you think about this one? It's going on a mountain bike http://www.amazon.com/Ibera-Bicycle-Touring-IB-RA4-Frame-mounted/dp/B002T5H8MW/ref=pd_sbs_sg_2?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=15ERRXQWVPB797C5PFR2
You have three options:
Ok, I assume you have a very, very low budget so here are some options for you:
So maybe $275-375 total cost before food and water? Man, that's still high...
This one. I did have to order a seat post clamp that has the mounting holes.
If you're going to be commuting you should look at getting fenders (SKS are good) and a rear rack and pannier bag (you're better off letting the bike carry your stuff; you won't get a sweaty back from a backpack). I'd also probably recommend a chainguard (which lets you ride in jeans/regular trousers without worrying about ripping the shit out of the cuffs).
I was really wanting this one because it looks incredibly sturdy, but I don't have the necessary threaded holes near the seatpost.
