What should I look for when buying a ukulele?

Hello; I’ve decided that an amusing hobby to take up would be to learn the ukulele. I’m fairly serious about this, though, and want a decent instrument. So, what sort of price range would be normal for a ukulele, and what else should I look for when buying one? Is ebay or amazon okay, or would it be much better to search in local stores?

What type of ukulele should I look for that would have a longer neck?

I’m learning to play the ukulele, but finding my cheaper, shorter ukulele is almost impossible for me to hold on to. I was wondering what other types of ukuleles there are that maybe have longer necks?
