Blockbuster, PayPal team up for payment method

Blockbuster announced Tuesday it's teaming up with PayPal to offer users another payment method for purchases off its Web site.

Under the arrangement, consumers can use their PayPal account to pay for their online movie rental subscriptions. And later this summer, Blockbuster expects to launch its downloading service for movie rentals and purchases.

Eventually, Blockbuster expects to make PayPal available for use to purchase other things off the Web site, from gift cards to new and used DVDs.

Blockbuster is offering users a $10 cash back to their PayPal account, if they sign up for a new online Blockbuster rental subscription.

An untrusted payment service matched up with a poor customer service company, this will anger more consumers.

I don't recommend people use paypal because they can freeze your account at will and you be left at their mercy even though it is YOUR MONEY that you deposited.

How is PayPal untrusted? I've never had any issues with them.
