    Can't download or purchase games


    I have a similar issue. I get the message that my payment method cannot be used and I should use a different one when trying to purchase something from the marketplace.

    Although I work in France I am actually from the UK. I have for a long period of time had no problem at all in buying games from the marketplace. I have also paid a 12 month sub using my billing profile.

    My billing profile is PayPal with my French card attached and verified. My Xbox region is set to UK. This as I mentioned has not been an issue until recently.

    I have tried webchat to fix this but got no answers except to telephone support.

    I have now contacted phone support 3 times. Ultimately I was told that I had multiple paypal profiles in the system. After explaining I have only ever had one paypal account it was agreed that the multiple accounts within the system do appear to be the same
    account and it's this reason that I cannot use that option now.

    The solution was to create a new paypal account and use that to buy things with. I was told as it's a new paypal account the system would not have any issues. Paypal however requires a different payment option for each account and so creating a brand new
    paypal account is not possible.

    I would like my billing profile fixed please. I have used the profile for many months since getting the xbox one. I have bought games and DLC and a 12 month subscription with my current payment option. There really is no reason why I am all of a sudden unable
    to buy things.

    To make a mockery of the whole thing I went to a 3rd party website and bought the powergolf code from them as the only way for me to be able to buy the game. It's all a bit mad really.

    I would appreciate someone looking at my account and taking their time to see why I have payment issues and if it's due to multiple paypal accounts [all the same account] clogging up and causing issues can you please help to fix it.

    I am unsure how long I will be in France. I do not speak French and do not want my region to be French as that then means my Dashboard is all in French aswell.

    Thank you.

    :)

  3. Buying Add-ons or DLC on computer

    You can't. You can purchase add ons or games on a computer but you have to download it directly on the xbox console.

    Hey there epicsnakehip!

    Sorry to hear about the purchase and download issues. It is possible that your account is having billing issues due to discrepancies with your region. If your physical location and your account location do not match, you may run into purchasing issues. It
    is important to have all your billing information match in order to prevent account issues.

    For further assistance with this issue, you will need to contact Phone Support, as we do not have access to all of the tools to assist you with this on the forums.

    Can't Download Purchased Games

    Hey there!

    I'm sorry to hear about the download issues. If you haven't yet, I recommend looking at the troubleshooting guide we have for
    Xbox 360 storage devices. If you continue to experience the issue with that specific USB drive, you may want to try a different flash drive.

    Good luck!

    GFWL - Can't Download Purchased Game

    I can now log in again (I think it was some hiccup on the Microsoft side, as I've changed no network settings), however I'm back to square one. Same original errors in compatibility mode (windows 8)

    Thanks for that info, QuitBrute. Are you able to Windows XP and Vista Compatibility Mode to see if that helps? The troubleshooting presented in the guide to

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
    may be able to assist with the issue you're experiencing.

    Additionally, do you own this game on disc or digitally and where did you acquire the license for the game from?
    Anything older than windows 8 requires a separate download. I don't own the disc, I bought the game directly from microsoft during a sale when they were promoting the platform about a decade ago
