To get a brand new 5D MkIII under $3K delivered is a pretty good deal, IMHO…
eBay seller is based in Taiwan, which means that the 5D MkIII is likely to be a grey import, but the seller has a 99.9% feedback rating, and in the T&C, it states this regarding warranty, which is pretty decent, I reckon:
• 12 months Australian Store Warranty
Buyers can return the product to our Sydney location for warranty services. The warranty repair will be undertaken by Canon and not third party individuals.
• 24 hour DOA warranty
If any manufacture faults been discovered within 24 hours of arrival, buyers are required to inform us within the 24-hour period. Please note that malfunctions need to be assessed and confirmed via email or other means in accordance to the nature of the claim. We reserve the right to reject claims as a result of improper utilization or misunderstanding of the device. Please follow the manual instructions properly or inquire about this product when problem arises. Once DOA has been confirmed, a brand new replacement and transportation costs (back and forth) will be covered by us (qd_au / Quality Deals LTD).

Wish I was in the market for one…
Did they ever solve the light leak issues?
the last i heard Canon said 'yeah, put some tape on it' and that was it.
