Unable to download Xbox 360 titles or purchase items for avatar

Whenever I try to download an Xbox 360 game or try purchasing items for my Xbox Avatar I get a message saying that my account is unable to make this type of purchase on Xbox.com. My account is not set to child mode and I don't have a 360 account. I previously
contacted support and the person that responded to me with a suggestion to try purchasing the items I wanted through a web browser but after I told him that it didn't work I was ignored. Is there anyway to fix my avvount so I can purcahse avatar items and
download 360 games?

Download Queue What is the Download Queue?
The Download Queue is a web-based view of items that will be downloaded to your Xbox 360 console. It is similar to the Active Downloads feature on your console dashboard.
Each Xbox Live account has its own Download Queue. Items you purchase from Xbox Live Marketplace are automatically placed in your Download Queue. You can perform other actions such as viewing the status of your downloads, moving items to the top of the Download
Queue, or removing items.

How do I remove items from my Download Queue?
You can remove items from your Download Queue by selecting the Remove link next to the item. A message will appear for you to confirm this action. Removing an item
from your Download Queue does not remove the item from the Xbox 360 console if it is already downloaded.

This means the top-most item in your Download Queue is awaiting download by your Xbox 360 console. The download will begin the next time you power your console on and sign in to Xbox Live.

What does a status of "Download in Progress" mean in the Download Queue?
This means the top-most item in your Download Queue is downloading to your Xbox 360 console. If you are on your console, you can view progress of this item by navigating to Guide Button > Marketplace > Active Downloads.

What does a status of "Not Enough Space" mean in the Download Queue?
This means the top-most item in your Download Queue is too large to download to your Xbox 360 console. To clear space or view available space on your Xbox 360 console, go to System Settings in the My Xbox area and select Memory. Follow the on screen steps
to select the storage device and remove items that you no longer wish to have on your Xbox 360 console.

Content will automatically download to the first console you sign into after completing a purchase on the web. If you decide to sign into a second console and you have content in the Download Queue, the items will appear in the console’s Active Downloads
feature and you have the option to download content to the second console. If you choose not to download the content to the second console, the content will remain in the Download Queue until you sign into your first console.

Content that you purchased and downloaded to the second console can be downloaded again to your first console using the Download History feature.

Please Note: Changing the download location does not change the usage restrictions on the content. Usage restrictions are applied to the first console the download is started or played on.
