Ipad appleid is locked

See the last paragraph of this support document, How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support. It may be quicker if you contact Apple Support directly.

Thank you very much I actually have to run down to Apple on sunday to pickup my new Mac Pro Air that was never open and when I plugged it in after sleeping since 2015 decided the battery was dead, Apple upgraded all the new apple products for me and replaced battery.

So now i am on my new ipad air 2 and loving that little monster to death I sure appreciate your replies and I hate to wreck this ipad trying to hack it.

I will take all my paperwork with me fingers crossed

If the receipt you received at the auction contains the serial number of the device, Apple MAY remove the Activation Lock. You will have to explain the circumstances to them.
