There is a lot more involved then just hops. Lagers, IPA's, pale ales, etc all have different grain builds and hops. If you are wanting to clone someones beer I suggest you try and figure out whats in it first, what do you taste, what do you smell, whats the mouth feel, try to find a clone of the same beer someone else has already tried.
To get an idea of what hops are in a beer look at this post and see all the hops,
It defines the flavor you can get from each as well as uses.

Adjuncts
flaked barley: MAX USE20%
Adds to the body and aids with head retention. Use at the rate of 2 – 12% of the grain bill. Adds proteins which promote foam stability/Head retention and mouth feel. Especially good in Porters, Dry-Stouts and Stouts, but can be used in any beer. Note: When used in amounts over 3% is may cause haziness, due to the amount of protein content. Not an issue with Dark beers, but should be considered with lighter colored beers.
flaked corn: MAX USE 40%
Lightens color and body but maintains alcohol content. Use in small quantities to add depth of character to lighter ales and lagers.
flaked oats: MAX USE 30%
Adds a silky smoothness to stouts and Belgian ales. Adds body, sweetness and aids in head retention. Oatmeal breaks down in the mash (or can be steeped) to lend fullness or that Oatmeal pucker and smooth grainy character. Use 1-1 1/2 lbs in a mash to impart the flavor of Oatmeal in your Oatmeal Stout or Porter.
flaked rice: MAX USE 25%
Lightens body, color and flavor. Provides a light, crisp finish. Used in light American ales and lagers.
flaked rye: MAX USE 10%
Gives a dry, crisp, strong rye flavor to light colored ales. Used in Roggen beers. Used as an adjunct grain in the production of rye beers. Adds a crisp and slightly spicy character. Usually no more than 1-2 lbs. (or 5-25%) to cause a dense, rocky head and a pronounced rye flavor.
flaked wheat: MAX USE 40%
Greatly increases body and head retention in most any beer. Use in small quantities, 4 – 6 ounces in a 5 gallon batch.
And choosing the right yeast will also make a difference.
Sometimes you can go the beer makers web site and they will give you an idea of whats in a beer and you can work from that, as for cloning a beer its all trial and error until you get it right.
As for where to buy your hops, your local brew supply would be best, if you don't have one close find a reputable brew supply place online and get it from them. yes you could find them on ebay but you never really know what your getting.
Good luck and happy brewing
