Problem & expected behavior (under 200 words)

I tried to transition to a one-time sponsorship to be able to raise a feature request (for npm dlx style dynamically-loaded --package resolution).

However, the journey to sponsorship is unclear and broken.

I wasn't sure what access and tool I need to visit to raise a feature request, and which of the sponsorships would open that up for me.

I visited the landing page for the sponsor's org, but the link to activate $4 sponsorship is broken.

See https://github.com/pvtnbr and the 404 link to https://github.com/sponsors/privatenumber/sponsorships?tier_id=397608 linked from the CTA image at the bottom.

Bugs are expected to be fixed by those affected by it

  • I'm interested in working on this issue

Compensating engineering work will speed up resolution and support the project

  • I'm willing to offer $10 for financial support

Further, paying by paypal is now blocked by Github...

And following the changelog which describes the EOL for paypal there is a link to https://github.blog/changelog/2023-01-23-github-sponsors-will-stop-supporting-paypal/

If you click on update your GitHub payment method you end up at...

https://github.com/settings/billing/payment

...which is 404.

With the sponsorship journey so broken (github contributing to the failure here) I'm guessing you're missing out on those dollars.
