A new unit will run you about $15-20 US, depending on where you buy it, though no clue about international shipping through eBay. You will need a spindle length of about 123mm-124mm.

I had this same question recently and this thread was helpful:

TA Cyclotouriste triple bottom bracket
That is very helpful indeed. 125mm it is!

I thought just a few mm more would have been okay but apparently not.

Thanks!
