  1. SECONDHAND BOUGHT XBOX S. SELLER BLOCKED ME.


    I purchased a Xbox Series S today and I’m highly upset. First off let me tell everyone I purchased the Xbox off “offer up” which of course is considered “secondhand”. OfferUp is a popular local reselling app via iPhone, similar to Craigslist. Knowing the Xbox worked I went ahead and bought the console. After getting home I hooked up my Xbox and began erasing the profiles logged into the Xbox. After doing so immediately a message popped up stating that the console was banned from the Microsoft network. I looked up what this means and it’s basically a permanent locked Xbox. Microsoft states that you can enjoy the Xbox without connecting to the Microsoft network but this is almost impossible with a “Digital ONLY console”. Yes, the Xbox series S I bought is the digital edition. Meaning I can’t insert a game at all and I can’t access the store because the console is permanently BANNED. I never knew a console was capable of permanently locking and I’ve been gaming since the first ever xbox launched. I’m totally familiar with someone’s account being suspended/banned but an entire console? this is absolutely unheard of. With Microsoft knowing this “ban” is a possibility for their products, they MUST WARN THE ENTIRE PUBLIC TO NOT BUY XBOX CONSOLES “X” and “S” SECONDHAND. MICROSOFT MUST STRONGLY RECOMMEND ALL CUSTOMERS BUY CONSOLES FROM A LICENSED GAMING SELLER ONLY!!! MICROSOFT MUST BAN ANY LISTING OF A XBOX ON A SECONDHAND APPLICATION DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF A CUSTOMER BEING SCAMMED.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Elijah, I'm sorry about what happened to the console you purchased, but in cases of permanent console bans you can't unlock the ban, nor can Xbox support help you in this case.

    Console bans have been a thing for years & Microsoft do warn that if you buy a second hand console that is banned then they will not lift the ban.

    Microsoft have no control on whether people can sell their consoles.It's completely down to you to make sure the console isn't banned.

    My xbox console is banned and i just bought it from someone and cant return it can it be unbanned?

    That's why you don't buy secondhand consoles from private sellers, secondhand from stores is ok as they are warrantied with that store.
