    "Your settings are blocking purchases of free or paid content" Unable to buy ...


    Hey everyone,

    I just bought an Xbox One yesterday and decided to purchase Minecraft, however, every time I go to purchase the game (or anything in that case) I get the same error message; "Your settings are blocking purchases of free or paid content."

    I have checked everything, my settings are set to anything on the purchase settings, I checked my account and I have no suspensions, my account is clean. I've never had this problem before, the last thing I purchased was the Destiny season pass back in January
    on my 360.

    Has anyone had this issue and if so, how did you fix it?

    EDIT: Just a side note, I have checked my payment options, my card details are all 100% correct.

    Much obliged,



    :)

    Change your setting to allow purchases?

    Whenever i try to buy DLC, it says my settings are blocking purchases of free or paid content. When I go to my settings, I can't change anything about it.

    HELP! About to kill it!

    It says:

    "Your settings are blocking purchases of free of paid content. If you still want to buy this, first change your settings to allow purchases. Parents will have to change this setting for children"

    I have no idea how to change it or add his account to the adult account. HELP!

    The message it gives me is:

    Your settings are blocking purchases of free or paid content. If you still want to buy this, first change your settings to allow purchases. Parents will have to change this setting for children.

    I don't know why it keeps saying this, I have my settings changed to this and it even let me download a free demo this morning so it makes no sense to me.

    Blocked from purchasing even thought the setting allows me to purchase at will?

    I have the same problem I am trying to download battlefield 4 and my settings are set to let me purchase what I want but it keeps saying "your settings are blocking purchases of free or paid content. If you still want to buy this, first change your settings
    to allow purchase. parents will have to change this setting for children." I have already had my parents set it up to where I can buy any game and my card is fine but I still can't buy it.
