I just had a quick look at these. Not a lot cheaper sourcing directly from China (e.g. AliExpress), but with a considerable delay in delivery, so I guess eBay would be your best bet. But make sure it is shipping from the UK. Lots look like they are (e.g. the item location says UK or they come up if you filter on UK only) but actually come from China. Sometimes you can tell because they quote long delivery, or in others the sellers address is lower down in the ad.
Anyway, I've changed phone and iPod batteries about ten or twelve times and always only bought cheap ones, and not yet had a problem. I've checked that the same battery is being sold by others if it isn't OEM. Some stated larger capacity than the original but I didn't really bother testing, but they definitely weren't any worse.
The YouTubes sometimes make the job look easier than it is. It's usually a fiddly job, and I've often nearly fallen at the first hurdle of opening the case, and invariably ended up scratching the case a bit trying to prise it open. Some of the batteries come with the plastic tools which work but not really until you have the case at least partly apart. I also bought some specialist double sided tape in case it was required to put it back together (which it has been once or twice - although desirable rather than essential).
Having said that, it is so much cheaper to d-i-y that I'd do it again and would not hesitate to recommend that you try.
