Then you won't be able to use it.

The original owner must unlock it and release it from their account before it can be used. There is no way around this.

Apple will not unlock it for you, unless you can present the original receipt from Apple or an Apple Authorized reseller.


Report it to Ebay and request a refund for it through Ebay's buyer protection program.
