Is there anyway to bypass Icloud Authorization on Iphone 5s?

I'm buying an Iphone 5s off of ebay but it is Icloud locked. Is the phone basically unaccessible? Or can I do something to unlock it?

If you see an ad for an iPhone that says that it has been blacklisted or is iCloud lock, KEEP looking. Do not buy such a phone because it is basically unusable as a cell phone. It can't be activated on ANY carrier in North America or Europe. And do not fall for the lie that you can just get it unlocked and use it on a different carrier. Why? Because by the time it takes for it to arrive on your doorstep, the scammer can no longer be contacted and your money is gone.

Nothing could be done

Iphones are secure, if thats not removed then move on.

Don't buy it.
