How do I tell which 18-55 lens I have to compare with what's online? The one I'm using is the one that came with my T1i many years ago. I found this one on Amazon that says it's a Mark II but it looks almost identical to the one I already have.

If you're looking for a direct replacement, then the one to get would be the STM version (there are actually 2 versions of the 18-55 STM lens now). You can buy either of them new for around $250 list...
Canon's 18-55 for $250 is way too much
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens
The newer f/4-5.6 version is a little smaller, and has a little smaller (max) aperture.
.
If you don't mind refurbished, then they can be found for about $100...
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens (refurbished)
Or new (repackaged) on eBay...
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 STM IS Lens from eBay
(Many people buy a kit and then re-sell just the lens separately)
There are a ton available like this (I bought one of mine that way a few years back).
This is just a general usage camera so I don't need the best quality part for it. Is there any other recommendation for lenses instead of the standard 18-55? The only other lens I have is the 55-250 which works just fine.
If you want more reach without having to change lenses so much, then the 18-135 STM or 18-135 USM would be very versatile.
There are other zooms available such as the 15-85 or 17-55 if your needs warrant. And many primes such as the very inexpensive 50mm STM for low light (highly recommended).
I wish you luck. Maybe your lens will come around. Otherwise, you can get a great replacement for very little outlay.
