When buying a suit/blazer/sportcoat off of eBay, which measurement should I be focusing on the jacket to determine whether it will fit me or not in the shoulders? Is it the shoulder to shoulder measurement or the pit to pit/chest measurement?

shoulder to shoulder will be the most useful measurement to gauge shoulder fit. Not perfect but it'll be the best you can do without being able to try on the jacket. Compare to a jacket that fits you well in the shoulders, if you have one.
pit-to-pit is a measurement of chest size.
