Finding the AppleID using IMEI
iPhone 5
Are you the original owner or is this a previously used phone?

I bought the phone from ebay as spare or repair and, and used the main board to fix my broken one. I checked the phone IMEI on a strange online site, and showed to be unlocked, and now after reset the phone appears as blocked on some account. I need to find the ID, so I can understand who locked this phone.
you can check if a phone is sim locked by IMEI but not if it's activation locked if the person did not prepare it for sale https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
then it will not work for you
so get ebay to refund your purchase
So there is no way to find out the AppleID. The owner can help me if I tell him the ID. The phone was used by kids and they have many ID's badly created. I can't return the phone as I only have the main board now.

Unless stated that the iPhone is not locked to an iCloud account buying on eBay is always a risk.
Thanks a lot for supporting me. I've learnt my lesson 🙂
