Of course a prompt response to my email enquiry would help a lot...
If you bought the Gen3 from someone in the US, you'd at the very least have to pay for shipping from France to the US and from the US to AU. So basically, it would not really save you anything. Plus nobody on ebay would selling for just $350. So the only choice you have is to do what you are doing and try to get a hold of them and get it sorted.
