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.

I understand they are separate issues, I have also gotten the exact same reply from Kobo support a while back which I posted in full earlier in this thread. My mind just fast forwarded and went straight to the part of actually buying it, having read that you succeeded in accessing the buy page from China via the FF workaround and was excited by the ability to use your code
my bad
From the responses so far in this forum, looks like not all NA folks can't buy from Kobo.com, and there is no pattern to it, this is just so puzzling.
