How to Make a PayPal Payment for Microsoft Points

Xbox Live offers a variety of games, themes and avatar accessories for users to download. Although some of these items are free, others cost varying amounts of Microsoft Points. If your account doesn't have a sufficient amount of points, you can purchase points in a store or online. If you want to purchase points online but don't want to use a credit card, you can link a PayPal account to your Xbox Live account and use PayPal to purchase Microsoft Points.
