Unless he answers and follows these steps;

What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else – Apple Support

Then you should contact Ebay and start the proceedure to get your money back,the watch is activation locked and will not work with your phone until the lock is removed.

Activation lock is an anti theft device and can only be removed by the person that setup the watch originally with their apple id.

Sorry for the bad news.
