SO WIN AND PAY AND YOU WILL GET USER ID AND PASSWORD FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS

YES, YOU CAN KEEP THOSE DVDs AT THE END of two months


if you ask me this person has ripped off someones credit cards or hacked into someones accounts. I already reported them to ebay few days back and ebay doesnt really seemed worried about it. Also called up blockbuster and they said they will look into it

Yup, definitely a bunch of crap. You can gift out a blockbuster online membership (pay in advance), so he uses a stolen credit card to make the account and pass it off to the person who wins the auction. He also gets credit for signing up the account using his promo code (he probably works for a Blockbuster store). The only problem (beyond stolen credit cards) is that if the winner already has a BBO membership, they can't have a 2nd account. As soon as they try and switch over the mailing address to their own it'll give them an error saying the address is already on file with another account(to prevent scammers from getting more than one free trial).

Report him to Blockbuster. Maybe they can do something.

Look at his feedback, all the things he bought were from 1 cent sellers. Just to boost his feedback rating. This is most definitely a scam. I also reported him to ebay.
