Have you restored this iPhone ?
When not do this and try to make it as your configuration.

You have to contact the seller he must give you the information. Just read this article from apple.

Activation lock:

I will give all my rep to anyone who can help!

You can't bypass the activation lock. The only way to get passed it is with the original owners iCloud information. I doubt the seller has this information otherwise they would have input it so they don't have to sell the phone for so little money.

There was a bypass but it was patched try taking it too stalls in shops etc they might help, tbh its probably stolen if its going for that cheap

The phone isn't stolen as I called AT&T and they told me the phone was not blacklisted. The seller received it as a trade in and can't contact that previous owner. I have no idea what to do...

If the description didn't say it was Activation locked ask for a refund and if not open a dispute with paypal saying the item isn't as described and you want a refund because its locked and the seller can't help me.

It is a brick, ask for a refund.

I would call apple for support. Obviously apple is aware of this issue since you're not the first one to have this problem.
