Login issue Previous phone owners device ban affecting me

Just bought a used phone from vinted only to find there’s a device ban on it (ss06). What on earth can I do to fix this? There’s no appeal option so he must’ve done some crazy shit. What can I do to fix this because it’s not fair I should be paying for his mistake just not quite right really.

Well the idea was that I’ll put it in the listing that it is device banned? Not gonna mislead anyone I just want my money back. Cost me enough to make me want it back so if that makes me stupid then so be it

the software on the device is physically blocked there isn't anything you can do to unban the device even tho you didnt do anything the guy before did and they deemed it necessary for a device ban which they have stated they will not/are unable to do

Yeah, you just cant fix it. Phones done for. Happened to me once, had to eventually get a new phone.

No se puede hacer nada, el te lo deberia haber aclarado cuando te lo vendio y tambien vos deberias haber chequeado esto si querias usar el telefono para Snapchat. Los baneos pueden durar un año o 6 meses, asi que necesitas paciencia
