Xbox Live & payment options

Is it possible to use PayPal as the only payment option? If so how? I've added my PaPal account online & when I get on the XBox one I go to settings PayPal isn't there. Am I doing something wrong?

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

Steps to Follow

Add or change a payment option using your console

1) Use your Xbox LIVE gamertag to Sign in.

• If you want to use your PayPal account on Xbox LIVE, select Add PayPal. You will be required to enter your PayPal username and password. Follow the instructions to add PayPal as a payment option.

How do I remove my credit card information from my account?

Every time I find an option under billing that says "Remove payment option" it redirects me to this page.

support.xbox.com/.../remove-xbox-live-payment-option

There is no "Payment & billing" option. And when ever I click billing, then remove payment option, I'm sent back to the link above.

 

Probably the xbox is set to a different country that the webpage. If you added the paypal account on the webpage in let's say for example France and your Xbox One is set to EEUU, your paypal won't be there.

Add it again setting the webpage country to the same of the Xbox One on the lower left side of the webpage.

 

You also have to live in a xbox supported region that has PayPal support

Not all xbox live regions have PayPal support
