    You could do a couple of things.
    1: Buy them from the C-Store
    2: Buy them from guild vendors
    3: Refill empty ones using soul magic

    This is from a noob, so there may even be a few more, but If I find myself in need of one, I go to a guild store, myself. But, even then, I find myself saying; "Why even bother, I need to repair my stuff anyway now. I might as well just go back to town, and then try again in a few."...lol

    EDIT:ooops, sorry...I didnt pay attention to the pvp part. I wouldn't know about that..sorry for any misleading...

    Most delves or dungeon's in Cyrodiil will drop soulgems, or you can buy them from the siege merchants at the gates, or in any keep.

    Boss fights and locked chests will usually yield soul gems. Undaunted dailies, enchanting writs will yield soul gems.

    "Rewards for the worthy" emails from Cyrodiil will sometimes contain soul gems.

    It does get pricey, even to purchase the empty ones and you have to otherwise farm them.

    At higher levels, I find myself going through more for enchnantement charges than for rez's, however, if you are free with your rez's, you will burn through them quicklyk, as well.

    Personally, I believe if you rez someone on the battlefield, it should utilize their soul gems first if they accept the rez. Most do not abuse this and it evens out, but it's a service you are doing for the other person. It should yield greater AP and not cost your resources if they have resources on them at the time.

    So many 'free rez's' in a certain timespan could be a nice PvP passive in the support line.

    As always, they are available from Mystics and guild stores.

    Buy empty grand soul gems in Cyrodiil for 121g a pop.

    Fill soul gems in Cyrodiil with either the souls of your vanquished enemies or random mobs you encounter in Cyrodiil.

    There are plenty of brigands, undead, vampires, werewolves and daedra to harvest near your base if you aren't into the PvP thing so much.
