Because of remnant COVID control policy of Beijing that was never officially lifted, many subway stations require Chinese ID number to buy one-way ticket or transportation card. You need to try different locations to find a place which is willing to sell transportation card to foreigners. Place that doesn't require passport is more preferable. When you buy it successfully, you should top it up enough money. There are many tourists successfully bought transportation card after opening up of China.

The card can be bought but you need to upgrade it to use and top up which needs a valid ID card to finish, and most service centers only accept China ID Card. For foreigners who want to get one with passports, they need to go to the service center in Dongzhimen to get one and upgrade it.

You have probably mistaken one way ticket with Beijing Yikatong transportation card. Ticket vending machine in Beijing Subway often require id number to buy one way ticket, which is a bad habit left over from COVID era.

In reality in Beijing, there seem to be a lot of stations still requiring ID verification to buy a one way ticket or to buy or charge transportation card. But also, there are enough places that they abolished this ID verification thing. It us better to go to busy place for better chance. Or you can make day trip to Tianjin in earlier stage of your trip to Beijing to buy a working transportation card.

Yes, you can.
I’ve already ask the subway officer at PEK since 25 Dec 2023. You can return the card at the ticket office in front of airport express entrance.
