Bought a second used homepod on eBay because I wanted to make a stereo pair. I plugged it in and held my phone close to it and nothing pops up on my phone asking to setup. All the homepod will say to me when I ask Siri a question is I’m having trouble connecting to the internet. Did the person who sold it to me have to factory reset the homepod before sending it for me to be able to connect to it? Did I get a lemon?
It needs a working wifi to set up . Try rebooting your wifi modem and make sure your iPhone is up to date on iOS 14.7 first and you have Bluetooth, wifi and keychain turned on (on your phone) and you are using two factor authentication with your Apple ID
Then try it again

Re: if it was factory reset? If as soon as you plugged it in it chimed after a moment, then it was factory reset. It would chime and once you hold your phone near it the set up screen will come up. Like this:
