How can I get through activation lock on a device I purchased from a private seller that I can't get ahold of to receive the login info?
iPhone 7 Plus
No good news for you.
If you are talking about "activation lock" (an anti-theft measure), neither we, just users like you, nor Apple can help you, sorry, unless you are the original owner and you still have the proof of purchase (receipt/invoice reporting your device’s IMEI or Serial Number). Should be this case, start your request using this link: https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support
Shouldn’t be this case, activation lock can be removed only by the previous owner, with the credentials that were used to activate that iPhone/iPad. Without those credentials, that device is useless to you.

I received and Iphone 7 plus online but as I was going through the setup process it said it was activation locked. How can I get through it? I have no way of contacting the private seller.
