Sorry to hear about your troubles. The "Activation Lock" feature is currently impassible without the previous owner removing the device from their iCloud account.

Ebay Suggestions:
If you haven't given feedback on the item, give feedback with the star rating that best reflects your experience and do not forget to state your concern. Anything less than 5 stars is harmful to the seller's reputation. And if they are activate on eBay, you may get a quicker response, especially if they are a "Top Seller".
In addition, because you purchased the device on eBay, I would strongly consider contacting eBay's "Resolution Center" and and choose the option "An item isn't received or it isn't as described in the listing.
