"My daughter has been playing in the band for about 3 years. She plays quite well and is in advanced band and competition band. She's wanting her own clarinet to play on the church worship team. Her old band director suggested to look on ebay for a yamaha. I did that but there are soooo many different kinds, I am at a loss. Our budget is under $300. Any suggestions?"

Buying off eBay can be a hit or a miss.
You might want to check local craigslist or a music store specializing in wind instruments where your daughter could play-test the clarinet.
Unfortunately, many eBay sellers provide dishonest description- I bought a clarinet that was advertised as having "new pads and corks" and the pads were original 30 y. old pads. Corks too. It played but was not sealing well. Seller had 100% feedback.
Another time I bought an E12 and received a B12 - the seller intentionally blurred the logo on the picture...
