I bought a FOB from Ebay and it worked fine. You just have to make sure it comes with a 16 character bar code on a white tag. I also bought a key blank on Ebay. The problem with that was that it was a cheap knock off that broke the Porsche key machine. So I ended up buying a key blank from Porsche and paying a half hour service fee to program my new FOB. Overall I probably saved about $200. Make sure the Ebay seller has a return policy.
