Hello!


Have the previous owner properly reset the device for resale, if possible, by following this link: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you cannot do that, try to get a refund. Because then, the device is useless to you; no one can unlock it except its owner.
