Need to update mine.

Question: is it cheaper to go to a dealer than ebay (95 squids on there) and will I be able to buy it cheaper at a Skoda or Seat dealer, rather than a VW one?

MPS:
Cheaper off ebay. A best offer of £75 to these guys usually works!

VW Main dealer I think you're looking at around £140 for the same part.

And where abouts are these little beauties hidden away in the car?

MPS:
Don't ask! I spent about 4 hours retrieving mine last weekend. The easiest way I found was by removing the 2 dash panels which cover the part beneath the steering wheel. Depending on the model year of your car it'll either be perched on a bracket above the pedals OR behind the relay panel. Mine was in the former location and proves a bit of a bitch to get off! The dash panel removal requires a screwdriver with a Torx T20 size bit and a right angled socket with a T20 adaptor for undoing the hidden screw underneath the panel on your centre console.

MPS:
A Haynes manual might help!
