The following link appeared in the Nexus forum on G+

http://goo.gl/yWLDHp

I can't access it (devices not available in your country yet) even when using Tunnelbear and a browser (not the Play Store app) to access it.

Just curious if others can see it?

I can access it fine and have bought stuff off the Google Play store. The first time around I had to proxy into one of my servers in the US + set my YouShop address and from there could access it fine even without a proxy.

visible if you have bought hardware from play store before (and credit card validated)

Interesting. I have never bought hardware from the Play Store that I can recall but have bought software (apps) before. Plus my Google Wallet account has both a US based and NZ based credit card on it with a US billing address.

It's not a big deal since a friend in the US sent me some pictures and I am not interested in the offers. But it's interesting how Google works out who can and cannot see the links.
