How do I cancel a pre-order? Support? :/
I'm from the UK and normally buy stuff from the US using the gift card method. But stuff being so much cheaper on other stores I decided to add my PayPal account for Singapore purchases and buy from there. So I preordered Gears 4 on my credit card via PayPal, but it hasn't appeared on either statements, despite the Xbox store now saying I own it, and it appearing as a recent purchase on my Live account dashboard.
Weird?

Hello there!
Thanks for shopping with us on XXX.
Your order contains a pre-order item, and we love seeing your name on the list. You won’t be charged for each pre-order item until it’s available for download, or has been dispatched. You’ll get another email from us at that time so you know what’s going on. In the meantime, you can reference your order details below.
They changed it recently so you don't get charged straight away when preordering games. I think it's something like 10 days before release you get charged now.
They charge you 10 days before release.
Confirmation mail looks like this:
For some reason I am unable to buy right now with Paypal, it always give me:
"We're sorry, we can't process your payment right now"
nvm: removing the paypal and then add worked
Trying to buy Forza Horizon 2 on Singapore's store but it keeps saying "We can't process your payment". Removed Paypal about five times and tried again to no avail. Did they close the loop?

That's fine if they let the credit card method live.
Seems like the PayPal loophole is dead.
I bought content without any problems a few days ago. Now it doesn't work anymore.
Just read on a German forum that someone that had pre-ordered with paypal before MS closed the loop hole just got charged for his Recore pre-order. I guess chances aren't too bad that our pre-orders for FH3 will go through.
Hope not, was planning preorder Forza Horizon 3 at the Singapore store =(
Prices are rubbish since Brexit happened. Pound is so weak.
Can't believe they charge £55 for Fifa on the UK store. Outrageous.
Same here, already have my paypal address synced but it doesn't work :/
Any other way?
On another forum someone said that if you've some leftover credit on your account you can use that to preorder a game and pay the rest with paypal or credit card.
I had $ 3,75 on my Singapore account I tried to preorder Forza Horzion 3 with this method few days ago and it went through I don't know if it still works.
I also preordered Recore on the HK store with paypal and got charged on sunday, so preorders made before they closed the loophole should be fine.
I have $0. I cannot add like $1 using PayPal, can I? lol
EDIT:
GUYS! I bought a $50 gift card on the Singapore store using PayPal, then bought Forza Horizon 3 using that gift card and PayPal for the remaining $19. It sill works!
Which store?
Microsoft Store (the Singapore one)
Is Gears 4 up for pre-order yet?
One slightly off-topic question. How do I change the language of my UWP games on PC? It defaults to my system's language but I'd rather play my games in the original version.
Same way you do it on Xbox. Change your system language if they don't have an option in the menu.
I have to change my Windows language in order to do that? There's no other way around???
EDIT: Forza Apex doesn't have an option in the menu for example.
Wow that's awful. Thanks for answering.
It is on the Windows store so I would assume so.
Seems Singapore is the cheapest marketplace but paying by PayPal doesn't work anymore, is there another method to be used?
Did you try buying gift cards from the Singapore store, that's what I did yesterday mate.
Can i use paypal to buy gift card from the Singapore store?
Any way to buy from Columbian store? They don't offer gift cards and VPN + credit card doesn't work.
