Apple ID Locked Ipad 4

Unfortunately no.

That device will remain useless until the lock-applying AppleID owner removes it.

FYI, this is not an “oversight”. Rather, it’s an intentionally-designed theft-deterrence mechanism.

As is, the iPad is useless to you…

Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be turned off:

Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Turn off Activation Lock – Apple Support

As you will discover, unless you are the owner of the AppleID that was last used to activate the device, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the Activation Lock. With documentary evidence that you are the original owner (such as sales receipt showing the serial number), Apple may be prepared to assist - otherwise they and nobody here will be able to help you.

If you have the necessary documentation, Apple have recently introduced a new portal though which you may be able to request release of an Activation Lock:

If the iPad was not described as locked, immediately

start a claim with eBay. Do not wait as there is a strict

time limit.
