Never use eBay you should always use the clubs you are going to play with, before buying. And you might well no you will probably be ripped off with fakes or customs up the ying yang.
I would honestly say spend in the upwards part of your budget and try to get custom clubs made. I don't mean Tiger Woods custom but get your swing tested so your clubs fit your swing and stance (very minor adjustments, but they help trust me). There are some mid range clubs that you can find to get fit.
I use to teach golf and this is one of the biggest problems for new or novice golfers. They are hitting the wrong clubs and thats why the ball is not going where they want it to.
You may spend more than you planned on it, but I guess it depends on how much its worth to you to hit the ball better, and honestly if you buy some decent clubs they could last you forever. My favorite clubs which I use to this day I have had for almost 10 years and trust me I have had many many sets of clubs.
All I know is when I hit the links (which I don't do much anymore, hurt shoulder in car accident) I LOVE to enjoy it. And you will enjoy golf just that much more.
Just my 2 cents. Its just frustrating as someone who use to play and teach so much, to watch people struggle not because of a bad swing but just because their clubs aren't right for them, is very frustrating.
This I would even recommended if you spent money on a good putter, driver not so much depends on how much $$ you want to put out. But your irons would probably be the most important
