    Can You Purchase Avatar Items On Xbox One with MS Money?


    Hi everyone,

    I had a few questions.

    1. Can you now purchase Avatar Items ( including items from 360 games ) directly through the Xbox One console?

    2. Also, if you can purchase Avatar Items directly through the Xbox One, can you use your MS money in your account to buy the items?

    Or, can you only buy Avatar Items if you have a credit card on file with your account?

    Could anyone please clarify that?

    I don't currently own an Xbox One, so I can't test it out myself.

    But, I tried using the Avatar app on my PC, but when I went to purchase an item, it says I have "no valid payment option" on file.

    I got the same message when I tried to purchase the item through the Xbox.com store.

    For security reasons, I prefer not to have a credit card on file. I prefer to use the MS money that I redeem from those prepaid cards.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Avatar Items not transferable between accounts? Why?

    Avatar Store items and avatar awards are available only for the gamertag that purchased or unlocked the item. If you want to use an avatar item with another gamertag, that gamertag must purchase or unlock the item.

    The only thing I can suggest is give MS a call and maybe they can transfer the licenses on their end?

    Avatar Companion blocked for child account - Parent can't purchase for a kid? Seriously?

    So, my daughter wants to purchase an avatar item, Baby Groot Companion, for her avatar from the marketplace store. The item is FREE. She's blocked from doing so by MS due to being a child/teen account. Even though I am her parent, and even though I changed the family settings to allow her to purchase content and even though I have billing setup with MS, she still CANNOT purchase the item. I can't purchase it for her. Seriously?!!

    Who in their infinite wisdom decided that FREE content allowed by a parent, can still NOT be purchased by a child? Come to think of it, if this is the case, why is there no way for a parent to purchase content and gift it to a child account?

    Unable to purchase avatar props.

    Hello, JXL.

    This is a common error if you will buy an item specially avatar items that are free like the Overwatch free avatar prop on Xbox One that are originally released on Xbox 360. Unlike Back Compat that can be purchased now on Xbox One, except of course if you
    are using Microsoft points. These avatar props can only be purchased on Xbox 360 Market. If you have an Xbox 360 console. you may try to purchase it there.

    avatar store-props (free/paid)

    As I stated before, you can use currency from an Xbox gift card to purchase avatar items only if you're purchasing them from a 360 console. If you're making the purchase on a One or the website, you need either a credit card or Paypal on file as a valid
    payment option.

    If the system won't accept your ATM card, then it can't be used as a valid payment option. If it does, then yes, you would need money in your account in order to purchase paid for items.

    I'm not sure how bank accounts can be used or if they can be used to purchase avatar items. That may not be a valid payment option for avatar items.

    These are community forums so most of us here, including myself, are regular gamers like yourself.

    regarding avatar props

    You don't need to use both consoles connected in the same time. If you purchase an avatar item from the marketplace through your xbox 360 it will be available for your avatar in the xbox one console as well. For the moment there are a few free avatar items
    (like the Mercy Wings Prop) you can download to try this out

    To purchase avatar items you need a valid method of payment in your account (like a credit card) or you can use prepaid currency cards.

    Money on Microsoft Account

    It's used to purchase content from the Live marketplace (games, game add-ons, avatar items, etc.). The money will show as your Micrososft account balance when you try to make a purchase. If you're making a purchase for the 360, you will have to make the
    purchase on the console in order to use the money.
