Getting Info a Locked Mac:

You have been scammed. This is the site the owner should have used prior to selling it: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade In your Mac - Apple Support. The seller should have know better. So, get on their case by contacting eBay.

You cannot. Return it in accordance with eBay's policies.

For reference: Set a firmware password on your Mac - Apple Support

Without the password from the original owner, it cannot be used at all. Apple takes security seriously and if there were a way to bypass the lock, it would not be secure.
