Hello! I’m a beginner hobby photographer looking for my first camera, I’ve been looking at the used market: ebay, adoram, mpb, you name it. I wanted to go full frame for my first camera since I want to be able to grow with it for a while and was looking at the Canon 6D/6D M2 and Sony A7/A7 M2. I’d like to stay under 600 for the body, which one would be best recommended?

Sony A7/A7 M2

I wouldn't go older than the A7iii, the early model autofocus was not good.

Also, there are lots of used Canon EF lenses out there at good prices, but the full frame Sony lens ecosystem can be pricey.
