I want to know if

eBay or
Amazon [affil link] can be used to kill weeds in lakes and whether or not it will harm fish, etc. I was told to use this to control the weeds and I wanted to make sure it was safe.

Yes, copper sulphate is widely used to kill weeds in lakes. We can't ask the fish what they think of it, so 'safe' is a matter of experience and judgement.
I know little about weed control in lakes, but it would surprise me if you did not need a permit from the state EPA before dosing a lake with copper sulphate anyway, so if I were you I would start by contacting them.
