called them, but then they told me that the money was rejected so it was good.

so now your hard-earned cash isn't good enough for Nintendo?

I don't wanna explain it because i could be telling you not complete informations. But you need to search for Nintendo Region Lock and see what that means.

So you will learn that, for Nintendo, importing is illegal.

Glad to see you got it back, but TBH I never expected anything less from Nintendo.

Still a bizarre situation, though. Not one I've heard of before.

something simliar happened to me. Once the 3ds shop was released I bought links awakening so I thought good, then I saw photodojo on the eshop and tried to buy it, my card was rejected several times but they holded $10 out from my creditcard. When I called nintendo they told me, my card was issued in costa rica and so therefore they could not accept my money, they even told me they eshop is not even available in your country at the moment so you shouldnot have access to it anyways. ;( 

You should've told them that's racist!
