Gonna drop a classic curmudgeonly HN comment here but the first thing that happens when you open that link is you get a pop up that asks you if you want to go somewhere else instead. What’s with that? It’s literally taking me away from the part of the site where I can give them money.

I hate that popup. Also the geographical stuff. I'm logged in already so why can't they show me whether its available in my country and in my currency. Instead I'm stuck on the US site and I have to go by some byzantine path to get it set to my region and then get back to the same product.
