Default Accord 2.3 Type-V Key Blank

Hi,

Am a new member so bear with me! Just purchased an 02 plate (2002) Honda Accord 2.3i type V a few days ago. However, I have a slight problem. It only came with 1 key, and considering there are 3 main drivers its a big issue. Honda are asking a ridiculous £30 per key + a £27 programming fee! After doing a little googling however I found some decent people in America on ebay who can get me them for $9 each. What I would like to know is, are these the right keys for my car? Is there a big difference in key shape cross atlantic? I appreciate any help you can give me, cheers!

I know they still have to be programmed but was really wondering wether there would be a difference in key blank between a UK accord and a US accord.

Can any dealers in the UK able to "Clone" keys? The US sold Accords
were clone-able 98-02, but required a special blank(T5) and coding
device. This make it cheaper to code the key, since it doesn't required
the car to be hooked up to computer.
I say the Ebay blanks should work, worth the gamble seeing price
different. wow

That would be if they didnt have the transponder chip in the key surely? These ones say they do and need programming by the dealer.
