Fake bills are WAY less common than fake coins. If the note you are looking to buy isn't a confederate note, obsolete note, or a Republic of Texas note, your chances of getting a fake are very low.

I use ebay all the time. If you aren't confident with identifying potential fakes, go with graded notes.

Heritage Auctions is a great place to buy. I also have used E-Bay..estate auctions can also net some good finds...Buy the book first!

Yes, ebay and Heritage are both good options. If you buy on ebay, I would also probably stick to holdered notes unless the seller has a sterling record and return privileges and you feel competent to evaluate the note when it arrives.

Before even thinking about buying, go to shows or your LCS and handle/examine as many notes as you can, leaving your wallet at home. Try to have a plan about which denominations or types you want to collect and study them first. It is very easy to buy but very difficult to sell - all the more so if you are just starting out.
