I am looking to buy a used Apple TV on eBay, but the seller doesn’t know if it has been factory reset or not. If I buy it, and it is still tied to the user’s Apple account. Can I do a factory reset and tie it to my account without having to jump through a bunch of hoops, like having to know a pin or password?

    I prefer to buy directly from Apple Refurbished store. I’ve bought two in the past, never had any issues, practically brand new

    Just factory reset it, and choose the option that downloads a fresh copy of the software.

      This never occurred to me before but does Apple TV have activation lock?
