Do the links I posted earlier not work?  Or are the above 3 that you posted cheaper than the ones I posted earlier in your region?  I'm just curious why you'd want to use these 3 instead of the canonical ones from earlier.

To answer your question, the donation will still be passed on, but I'm genuinely interested to know why you'd want to use one of the resellers.
