How to Manage your Xbox LIVE payment options

Overview

You can choose to use more than one payment method for your Xbox LIVE account. The payment options include credit cards and PayPal accounts. You can use these payment options to buy items from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

The 2-year Xbox LIVE Gold Contract uses only credit cards as the payment option. The other payment options like Debit Cards, Prepaid cards and PayPal are not valid for this subscription. However, you can change your payment to another credit card.

If it is before the end of the two years and there is no credit card associated with your account, it is assumed you have terminated the subscription, and you will be charged an Early Termination Fee and any applicable taxes.

It is easy to edit your payment options on your console or at Xbox.com

Xbox live can't authorize payment - tried three payment options from both console and web

Some info first:

I have already reported this problem to the support a week ago (ISSUE ID: 1214917578), but didn't get any answer.

The last system update has been performed and my MS Account shows 27,84 EUR.

I have three different payment methods defined, including PayPal. They all are ok - checked with my bank and paypal.

The problem:

From web I can buy only cheap items - the last successful one was 3,79 EUR. The 9,49 EUR already fails. Moreover, it doesn't show my MS Account balance as a payment option.

From console I can't buy anything, although it show my MS Account balance as an option.

The message always says "can't authorize payment". No error codes are shown.

One of the payment methods was successfully used before for some purchases from console.

My Ms Account region is Austria and I'm connecting from Austria.



Any help will be greatly appreciated!
