Welcome to the forum!
Currency on ebay, for the most part, is legit. The biggest problem I see is differences of opinion in grades and not whether a note is "real" or "counterfeit". Before spending loads of money though do your homework, study up on currency and only buy from "experienced" (high qty of positive feedbacks that have been selling for a long time) Sellers.
You will quickly learn who to buy from and who to avoid. Negative and neutral feedback are huge red flags. Pour over a Seller's 12-month FB ratings and you can learn a lot about how they conduct business. Reading what others have wrote will tell you a lot.
Knowing what you are buying and whom you are buying it from goes a long way in easing your concerns and helps protect you from getting burned with a bad deal or a counterfeit note.
Down the road, when you start getting into the high dollar stuff, consider only certified notes from PCGS or PMG unless you are confident in your grading and authentication skills.
Good luck!
