Payment method not accepting

I'm sorry if im doing this wrong, its my first time posting on this site. But im having the same problem as rLyncher. I havent changed locations since i setup my paypal or xbox live account so all the information is the same for both accounts. I just added
paypal as a payment method and tried to buy a gold membership. But it will not accept when i try to use my paypal purchase anything.

I appreciate that you answered, but not that you did so without reading what I wrote. My brother back in Norway could not get it to work either, from Norway with a Norwegian billing address, Norwegian gamertag and Norwegian credit card.

Hi,Ashir! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Yeah that is the issue. For a payment method to be accepted it needs to match your billing address region.

Greetings, ExclaimedSlayer and Sandy7000. Please go ahead and log on to
https://billing.microsoft.com and make sure all of your billing information is configured according to this sticky:

forums.xbox.com/.../153161.aspx. Hope that helps! If you see any account errors pop you will need to get in touch with phone support. They will be able to help troubleshoot the issue with you further.



If you need further support I'd ask you to create a new thread for issue. That will help us provide you both with the very best support possible. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, me too (existing card that had been working fine rejected, tried another, tried PayPal, also rejected without a reason).

It appears something's broken on Microsoft's payment/purchase systems.

Microsoft, please investigate and fix. Thanks.
