The seller can also remove it from their Apple account by using their iPhone. You don’t need to go anywhere as long as you can contact the seller by phone.

To do so - seller can go into Settings, then tap on their name (at the top of the Settings screen, then scroll down to find the HomePod - tap on it, then select “Remove From Account.”

If they do that, you’ll be able to set it up on your Apple account.
