Default Eyepiece internal thread

I bought a cheap 15mm and 40mm eye piece off ebay recently

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d... STRK:MEWN:IT

they seem to work reasonably well, but the internal threading is not the
same as my origional eypieces (skywatcher) therefore the filters i've got
won't fit. Apparantly the cheap eyepieces use M30X1 as the threading. Is
this difference between manfactor of eyepeices the norm? where can i get
filters for this thread? and what is the threading on a standard Skywatcher
eyepiece so i know what to buy in future.

Cheers

Damian
