Activation lock is tied to the board and serial number of the iPad. There is no way to remove it.
Usually these Activation Lock devices are stolen or the previous owner didn’t know better. In your case, you have a chance at getting it back BUT you need to remember the iCloud account or find a receipt to prove it is yours. These are usually stolen (yours isn’t and I can tell from how you said it), so that’s why you need that for proof of ownership.
If this was private sale, you’d need to hope the seller works with you or return it if it came from eBay.

The iPad 2 is common due to it’s age. At this point get the 64GB since those aren’t much more in a lot of cases. Expect to pay ~$40-55 for a 64GB.

Usually these Activation Lock devices are stolen or the previous owner didn’t know better. If it isn’t stolen (they honestly usually are, so don’t be surprised) ask the previous owner to remove it from the account if it’s private sale. For an eBay purchase, you’re better off retuning it and being done with the matter.
