Minecraft Marketplace Purchase Prompts

Hello, I noticed that there is no prompt when purchasing Resource Packs from the Marketplace asking "Are you sure you would like to purchase this item?" or something to that effect. Because of this, one wrong click of the button can result in buying an unwanted resource pack with no way of getting your funds back since there is also no way to refund content you did not want. 

This also means that children may accidentally buy items that they did not mean to. 

It would be great if a pop-up prompt could be added when purchasing Resource Packs. I imagine that this would not be something difficult to integrate. I'm not sure if this is an issue only on the Switch version of the Minecraft marketplace or not. As the Switch store also does not load images and all titles are in a coded font. (Ex. Instead of saying "Texture Packs" it says something to the effect of store.textures.exe)

  Yesterday I was looking through the character-creator within Minecraft Bedrock to customize my in-game character.  I was looking through the available items on the marketplace, pressed the select button on my controller once to preview an item, and accidentally pressed the select button a second time; the second press immediately purchased a hat for my character using Minecoins.  Unfortunately I did not like or want the hat I purchased, and I never plan to use it - so I looked up Mojang's refund policy (https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360030463592-Mojang-Studios-Refund-Policy) and was very disappointed to learn refunds are not given to accidental marketplace purchases ("all purchases are final"); I have no recourse here and this is very disappointing.  This can easily be prevented by adding a confirmation prompt such as: "Are you sure you wish to purchase X for Y coins?".

  Please consider adding a feature that prevents accidental purchases so this doesn't happen to more people.  I would much rather spend those minecoins on content I'm actually interested in purchasing.  Something as simple as a "Are you sure you want to do this" prompt would be much appreciated.  Thank you

  This needs to be a thing, since it’s mostly children using their own money to purchase minecoins and don’t realise they are making purchases without a confirmation beforehand
