I recently got a pair of airpods max headphones off of ebay. I absolutely love them, but the only setback is when i first connected it to my device, it said that the previous owner (who i bought it from) can still see it’s location. Because I bought them online I do not know the previous owner personally… is there anyway for me to change the ownership/apple ID without having to talk to its past owner?

Yes, you may do this because AirPods are not signed into using an Apple ID.

this didn’t work because the original owner‘s apple ID is still connected to the airpods? got any other solutions?

I apologize. You said AirPods Max … you’re absolutely right - they remain associated with the original owner’s Apple ID until the original owner removes them.
If an item or device is connected to another Apple ID - Apple Support
They are locked. Get a refund if you can’t contact the original owner.
How do I change the ownership of my AirPods Max?
