Iphone 4s locked to another icloud account.

I have recently purchased a phone from eBay which needed a new screen. Screen has been replaced byt subsequently realised that the phone is locked to an icloud account.

Is there anything that the seller can do to unlock the phone for me?

Many thanks

iPhone 4S

Well, there is an antitheft process on iOS so be a little bit careful. But he should be able to boot into recovery mode and reinstall as a new phone. (Or simply restore to factory settings, if he is the owner.)

That is not correct information. Without the Apple ID and passcode, neither booting in recovery mode nor restoring to factory settings will enable the OP to activate the phone.
