I was referring to the original issue of the thread- is Kobo filtering non-NA IPs?

The answer is yes, which then led to someone else's question of whether or not it's deliberate, and that's what I was responding to- based on that Customer Service reply, blocking people outside of NA from buying ereaders seems to be deliberate.

The problem with credit cards authorizations, while a serious problem, is a separate issue. People outside of the US can't even get to a place where they can enter a credit card number, unless they use the FF workaround to make it seem that they are in NA.
