If you are talking about lumber thats been delivered to a job site or a retailer then yes you might see some shrinkage but honestly nothing that will effect your framing. The biggest problem I've experienced with green lumber is that some pieces will twist slightly as they dry. Other than that, no major shrinkage issues should bother you.

Is raw ebony available for sale in the US?

I'm not sure what you mean by raw wood. Green wood that hasn't been dried out? Or fresh timber that has not been sawn into lumber? Or just lumber that has not been reclaimed from other completed items? You can purchase ebony lumber from many wood supply sources. It is heavy, hard and expensive, it only grows in Western Africa.
