Not unless the seller removes it for you. It's an anti-theft measure.

Icloud Hello, I bought an Iphone X from ebay and there is an Icloud lock on it. The seller can't help me remove the lock because he doesn't know the password. I was wondering if Apple could help me remove it because the Iphone is useless at this stage.
