The box I pointed to was only $20 so either source (eBay or Amazon) should work.

Chances are, they're M2 or M3 screws and those are fairly cheap at any *real* hardware store.
TIP:
Take a very thin piece of wire like a straightened out paperclip and slip it down into the screw hole.  Measure the depth and make sure you aren't trying to insert a screw that is too long.
Good tip to measure the screw length.
bill DL , i would not have thought of that ....thanks!!
