Even if you don't have access to the email address (b******@gmail.com) you might be able to reset the password for it and solve the issue for the buyer.


Try the steps in:

If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support


and try and reset the password for b******@gmail.com


If you gain access to the account:

Remove a device from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - Apple Support


If you have the original proof of purchase you might also be able to get it unlocked by contacting apple:

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


Good luck!
