Phones are locked to the AppleID of the "rightful owner" (first ever, or later owners). You have hit the "activation lock" because the seller did not release the device from his/her AppleID.


Either have the seller release it or just get your money back if they do not want to (or cannot because they do not have the rightful-owner information).
