Help! After Hard Reset Can't Get Back In

Ok I have a Samsung Galaxy s9. I sold it on Ebay. They sent it back and asking for refund. BUT It was in a different language i couldn't read. So I did a HARD RESET and wiped everything. Now every time I try and log back in it tells me to log in with previous owner google account. I do, but it boots me back out again. It doesn't recognize my old account info. I'm so upset. This person paid $400 now wants a refund. And I'm locked out of my phone and its worthless now. I can't resell it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
T.
