How does one go about collecting such dolls? Do you just search online like on eBay or is there a specific maker that is best to purchase from? Also, anything I should look for when it comes to these?

Are you talking about actual antiques, or the Victorian styled porcelain collectible ones?
If its antiques I'd suggest getting a few collectors guides for reference. You can get older ones off Amazon for very cheap, which will at least help you figure out which makers you like.
If its the modern collectible ones, I can't really think of how to help you. I'd think there's collector sites for them that would know more (I know theres a doll subreddit) and maybe some kind of doll clubs local to you that would know more.

I recently got into these because I ended up inheriting an old bisque doll from a relative and have spent some time restoring her. The best manner usually is through rubylane. Stay away from ebay unless you are well versed into which dolls are which, as people scalp dolls that are not worth much. Not to say you can't get good deals there, but you are more likely to get what you are looking for on rubylane.
I'm guessing OP is meaning true Ball Jointed Dolls that BJD were based off of - Bebe dolls, Bisque dolls, image related?
