I have recently tried to change my skin, but it hasn't worked. I have changed it in the past with no problem, but I go to the website and click on the skin I want and choose to apply it automatically to my character, it takes me to my minecraft profile and then it tells me I need to purchase the game to be able to change my skin. I have bought the game and as I said have changed my skin successfully many times but the last month this has happened, my minecraft updates automatically just to give evidence I have bought the game.
