When adding to an existing bank I would buy 2 more of exactly eBay you already have and worry about maxing AH when you replace them all.
Above assumes your existing ones aren't too old. If they are then I would consider replacing w 4 new.

All batteries connected together should be the same brand and type if possible. They should also be about the same age and condition.

If they are different, they will charge at different rates, and some will over/under charge.

Don't mix chemistry ( AGM with Flooded or Lithium ) or new batteries with dead batteries, but brand and age, by a few years, if in good condition, will do no harm.

All brands of flooded battery's are 2.1 volts per cell.

I presume that your existing 6V batteries are golf cart batteries, GC2 typically. Sams or Costco has them for about $100 each.
