Troubleshooting a Locked Device:
If so, I'd say you've been scammed, though a full assumption on my part.
A. Contact eBay:
Contact the site, and ask that the seller be held accountable and that you get your money back.
B. Take this as a learning experience:
The next time you purchase an Apple device, then make sure that you can log into it. For an iPhone, have the original user use this site: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. The seller should have known better.
EBay have a money back policy. I would try contacting the seller first and then, if you don’t get any satisfaction,I would suggest raising a dispute and eBay will refund your money if the seller doesn’t
