This hasn't stopped me playing any games bough via the UK store since everything is region free. There were reports of problems but that appears to be when folk have used codes purchased from eBay that were meant for a specific region.

To add Paypal:
1. Go to xbox.com and sign in
2. Click on My Account
3. Payment & Billing
4. Billing Info (menu on left)
5. Change Billing Address (I use an address in Oregon as its got 0% tax)

e.g. University of Oregon
1585 E 13th Ave
Eugene, OR 97403
United States
541-3461000

6. Change my Region (menu on left) - Select United States
7. Add Paypal (menu on left)

Then change the region on console and reboot.

When you go to the store, you will have the US store and can download apps and games on there and buy things in $$. Since you have added Paypal then that will be shown for the payment option.

I believe this affects xbox 360 as it wasn't region free. I've had no such issues with the One.
When they find out you are outside the US you could get banned?
