How to remove iCloud Activation Lock?
I bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max on facebook for cheap, and I was wondering if there are any ways to remove the iCloud lock. I contacted the seller and had no hope.
Это хороший вопрос?

Not without the involvement of the person whose account the phone is locked to, or the original owner of the device. So you would need to coordinate with the seller (assuming they are they are the genuine owner). The will need to remove the device from the list of Find my Devices in iCloud, or if they cannot do that for whatever reason—forgotten password, don't have access to recovery e-mail or phone any longer,etc..., they can submit the original proof of purchase to Apple to have them unlock it.
Otherwise it's stuck as is. A major hazard of buying used devices, sadly.

you will need to contact the previous owner and have them login to the icloud account and remove the association, either on the phone itself, or via either www.icloud.com or appleid.apple.com.
beyond that there is no permanent solution.
yes, you will find services and software offering to remove icloud accounts, it's all BS. these "solutions" involve jailbreaking the phone then installing a "bypass". but the phone will not behave like a normal phone (if i'm misstating some of these items, i welcome correction as a am not a jailbreaking expert). you will likely have issues with downloading and installing apps, you may have issues trying to use the only on you cellular service account, you cannot do auto upgrades the IOS, your device becomes more vulnerable to malware/hacking, battery drain/usage increases dramatically, it makes the overall IOS environment less stable meaning more crashes, and if you do upgrade the IOS or reset the phone, you have to re-jailbreak it again.
using jailbreaking to "fix" an icloud account is like (you may be too young to actually relate to this) watching TV before they had remote controls. you want to change the channel or change the volume or adjust the rabbit ears, you had to get out out of your chair, walk to the tv and do so manually - every time. sure it all worked, but it was horribly inconvenient compared to what a modern day TV remote can do for you.
if anyone has a better analogy, i welcome input on that regard as well. :)
bottom line, the only way to properly remove it is to have the icloud account owner do it

How much are you asking for?

@mohamedali30854 and @timhardy57639 make sure you finalize your deal by email in the next few hours. After that your buy/sell offer will be deleted. We are a self help forum and do not want to start a swap meet here.
