If your iPad is activation locked the previous owner did not prepare it for selling, as described in What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.


The device is locked to the previous user's Apple ID account. 


Activation lock can be removed only by the following methods, as described in How to remove Activation Lock


Return it to the seller for unlocking or a refund.
