Apple cannot unlock an iPhone that is Activation Locked - only the person

who set the lock can remove it. Do as Meg St._Clair suggested - start a claim

with eBay to get your money back.


FYI: you are not speaking with Apple here, but just your fellow users in a forum

to provide technical assistance.


There is no workaround for Activation Lock.

so I need your help, I have all the paperwork says I am the owner of iphone

Yes, I understand that. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to contact Apple or use this link:


Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support


Perhaps this article can explain it better than I:

No one in this forum can help you.

Only the person who initiated the Activation Lock can remove it. You need to

contact the prior owner and have him/her do the actions in this link:

Prepare your device to sell or give away


Until the Activation Lock is removed, the iPhone will remain useless. There is

no workaround for Activation Lock.

What if I forget my Apple ID password?

If you forget your password, you can reset it at your Apple ID account page or you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity.

If you forget your password and can't reset it, you'll lose access to your Apple ID and might be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit your Apple ID account page periodically to review and update your account information.


If you require further assistance, Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support. You may end up needing to track down your original proof of purchase/receipt if you cannot remember the email you used for your Apple ID.

If you had read the rest of the thread to which you just posted, especially the link in the post just above yours, you would know that we cannot help you. Get your money back from eBay.

Take it back to the shop and get a refund.

Apple cannot help you unlock it.


and it looks like you purchased it 5 months ago...
