Bought locked ipad 2 months ago any recourse

In July I bought an ipad 3 for my son to use at school as part of their innovative teaching strategy. I knew nothing about iClouds or locking and thought that because it came on and charged up, it was good to go. I only found out this morning, when I had to activate it, put on apps, etc. that it was locked. I've contacted the seller, who's in Canada and has 100% approval rating but so far I havent heard back and am pessimistic about ever hearing back. As far as getting my money back, do I have any financial recourse? It's too late, obviously , to open a dispute or claim.

If you paid with a credit card, you can do a charge back through them

You could also pull up the contact info for the seller and call them to see what is going on

Did you read the listing over again to see if it stated it was locked.
