Enter DFU mode - https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/DFU_Mode
From there you can restore it via iTunes
Note: If it's iCloud Locked then you're out of luck and have been scammed. Apple won't help you and it can't be bypassed
Talk to the seller.
Contact the seller and return it through ebay if needed.
You need to reset it. This does not indicate that their is anything wrong with it. However, it is suspicious. The main possibilities that come to mind are, the former owner new that entering the wrong code a few times would disable it, and they thought that would be a good way to make sure their info is not accessible. And they didn't know how to reset it normally. The other scenario, and more probably, unfortunately is that it is stolen and they tried to unlock it too many times, and they also didn't know how to reset it.
No worries for you though. Falle the instructions to put it into DFU mode and connect it to iTunes to reset it. You can then find out if you can use it. The no worries part is that eBay will have your back if the phone is unusable for whatever reason.
