Start by checking your fuses. It's a good rule of thumb for any car with electric windows.

Did it work when you checked it before you bought it?????

It could be the switch, fuse, motor, and check at the coupler where the door wires plug in/ go into the chassis.

If you have a test light you can pull the switch and see if the switch is throwing power, if it is you have narrowed it down to the motor. Then the fun begins. Check at the motor for power if it has power but no motion replace the motor.

That's pretty uncool of the seller.
