I’ve broken my iPhone 7 home button and I need to replace it. I know a after market home button won’t allow the Touch ID to work so would it be possible if I brought a legit iPhone 7 of eBay and use the home button from that in my own iPhone 7 and would it allow me to use Touch ID ?

The only replacement buttons that work on the 7 are those aftermarket home buttons they are called JC Home button (V2). It's a physical click home button that pairs via Bluetooth and uses a small jumper to connect power to the button.

IIRC there's the new v4 which eliminates the need for a jumper.

Touch ID will not work and the button will not work either!

For an IPhone 7 you probably need a screen replacement(that’s not a big deal other then the price) that’s my suggestion I would get in touch with you local geniuses bar and see what they can tell you if they want to charge you anything for $200 don’t take it. You can buy a new screen from IFIXIT and replace it yourself

No. If you switch out the button from another iPhone 7, Touch ID won’t work, but it should work just fine as a standard button. Unfortunately, the Touch ID function is paired to that specific phone’s Secure Enclave within the phone’s processor.
You might be able to go to an Apple Certified Service Center to see if they can pair the new button with your phone, but you’ll have to have a Genuine Apple part.
