Ask the seller to remove the lock or give you a refund. It's an anti-theft measure.

There is nothing that can be done to get that Activation Lock removed except to enter the correct Apple ID and Password.

I believe that when you bought the iPhone 6 Plus, it was a lost or stolen iPhone that was sold to you. The seller probably had a one time unlock to sell the iPhone which worked until you had to reset the iPhone because it was disabled.
