You can check the for sale forum on the site like said above. You can also get plenty of free brass at the public range. It seems to be the most popular cartridge these days and very few shooters pick it up. I see hundreds every time I go to the range, so much I don't even pick it up any more.
You can do a Yahoo or Google search for "9mm brass for reloading" and come back with a plethora of sellers.
For "new", unfired cases, I have bought from the following:
You can buy new casing if you want, but most reloaders use previously fired cases (they are referred to as "once fired" but unless it is military brass with a crimped primer or you know the shooter, there is no guarantee as to how many times it has been fired).
And in the "once fired" market, you can get cases that were just picked up off the range and sorted by caliber all the way up to cases that have been fully processed and are ready to reload. In general, the more processing the seller does, the more it costs.
You can also buy cases that have been "de-militarized" (also knows as "pulled" or "broken down") which are taken from a batch of ammunition the manufacturer had to disassemble because it failed to meet specification. Frequently such cases are available having already been primed.
I have bought various grades of previously fired and de-mil cases from the following sellers without major problem:
Among previous fired brass sellers, the count of cases is usually determined by weight, not a physical count. Most of the time the weight is a little heavy so that you get a few extra cases to compensate for the occasional damaged case or berdan primed case so you may order 100 cases, get 104 and when inspecting them find two damaged and three berdan cases so that you end up with 99 usable cases. Some people would consider this a problem, I don't. If I ordered 100 cases and only got 50, that would be a problem, but not 99.
Also, if you are going to start using previously fired brass, I suggest you get a dedicated decapping die since you will eventually encounter a berdan case that both the seller and you missed and you don't want to have to end a day or reloading prematurely because you broke your last decapping pin.

There are other sellers, but I haven't dealt with them or their name wasn't available off the top of my head. Remember when buying brass to factor in the cost of shipping. Some sellers price their product with free shipping, for others shipping is additional.https://www.leobrass.com/brass/

I shoot primarily at my house so I don't have a source for free brass. Because my home range is lined with tall grass its unrealistic to pick up more than a small percentage of my spent 9mm cases so I have to buy cases. There are several sellers on Etsy.com that sell spent brass for reasonable prices and they take paypal. One of my local gun shops sometimes has spent brass for $5 per 250, which is well worth me not having to crawl in the snow and tall grass trying to pick it up.

I've been curious about trying these, but the price still doesn't make sense vs buying range brass
https://www.shellshocktechnologies....tools/1500-new-unprimed-9mm-luger-nas3-cases/
The interesting part to me would be being able to pick them up with a magnet. If they could make a 45 acp case for a similar price I could probably justify it.

RMR bullets. I ordered 1k, wet tumbled indoor range brass from him for like $30.
I don't like LEO brass as i made an account and seen shipping and what not was too high and that guy called and emailed me like 10 times asking if i still wanted the brass! I guess his software auto fills the order even before you use a credit card #.
Brass bombers seems to be okay also.

I've bought brass from Jake in the past and have been pleased with it.

His bullets are first rate too.

I saved my factory brass when I started shouting. I also picked up range brass at the public range I used to go to.
9mm and 223/556 is easy to get plenty of.
Worse case shop around. But with a little planning it’s easy to build up a decent supply fairly quickly.

a lot of local gun shops sell range brass in addition to the new brass they sell. Possibly pick up free range brass at your local range, if they allow it. Some ranges sell brass, too. If all else fails, you can buy factory ammo and save your own brass. Ask your friends to save their fired brass for you.
YOu can buy new, unfired brass at most gun stores, some shooting ranges and at dozens of online sources. Beginner google-fu skills are adequate to find sources of brass all over the place.
