>I'd say it was essential (not to mention polite) to e-mail in French, as they usuallu only have one fluent English speaker around.<

John,
i make online orders all around the world. I order in Japan, Hong Kong, Great Britain and North America. An order in English is accepted everywhere. I cannot see why it is more polite if i order in french. I simply cannot speak french. If i would try to write in french, the result was probably funny, but not polite.

By the way, they offer their products worldwide, they are the sellers.
Did you ever hear the word: customer is king. So they want to sell, so they should try to understand the customers from all around the world.
The get the money. They get more money than the items cost (otherwise there was no profit, and profit is the reason to run a shop).

Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, no offense but just my opinion.

regards
Frank
