I'm sorry to hear you have bought a blacklisted device.

It is likely you have bought a phone that has been reported lost/stolen, meaning it has been blacklisted from use.

The phone is of no use to you.

You should attempt to contact the seller and file a refund request on eBay if the seller's response is unsatisfactory and you are able to do so. As you are not the original owner of the phone, Apple will be unable to help you.
