Am I getting it correct? They are selling you the right to delete your account with them.

Wouldn't a GDPR request regarding the right to erasure have the same effect and be free (if the company respects the GDPR)?

This is weird. Their privacy policy enforcing them to delete your account. I guess it is just a catch for those who don't know what GDPR us.

4. Right to deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to delete such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

- The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

- You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing. You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing.

- The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.

The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) DSGVO.

First time I opened the page, it redirected me away. Second time, it stayed on the product page. Third time, it redirected me away but the back button could return me to the subject of this thread. Subsequent attempts didn't even give me that.

Is this a real product, or a test item?

And theres a cookie popup with "we value your privacy"

Well, looks like they took this too literally and put actual price on "your privacy".

  That would be 19.90€ please.

Interesting how it's 19,90€ in the EU but £29,90 in the UK.

It's been there for a long while, doesn't look like a test item. My guess is they're trying to take it down, but cache hits along the way bring it back for now.
