I'm not sure if it's a requirement to state if your iPhone has had it's screen replaced when listing on eBay, but I'm worried about buying a used on in case it has had a replacement screen. This is because I've seen a lot of stories about poor quality third party screens.

Might be a silly question, but is this something to worry about? Do all third party screens support 3D Touch and the P3 colour gamut for the iPhone 7 and above?

Thanks.
 
Ask the buyer, easist thing you can do. If he lies, you get a refund. Good luck!

Edit: sorry misread your question, thought you were buying. Shine a narrow beam of light into the screen likethe person below me stated. Good luck.

For what it’s worth, I replaced my screen st a third party shop, and I could immediately notice the degraded quality. If it looks and responds well, you’re probably safe. Also, most third party replacements use thicker glass than Apples. So if you feel a sharp ridge around the home button that can be another clue.
