BWA-HA-HA-HA! Take a look at this thing I just got, supposedly from eBay. I actually filled part of it out, until I got to the question where they asked if I'd be willing to use my real bank and credit card information when participating in the survey. The instant I said no, they told me I didn't fit the profile for the type of person they were looking for. Heh, no D! I bet they weren't even really going to send me the pen! B-)

The study involves completing 8 tasks on the eBay web site, including buying and selling tasks, and answering questions about your experiences as you go along. The estimated time to complete the study is between 45 and 120 minutes. In appreciation for your time and input, $50 and 2 eBay pens will be sent to you within ten business days of completing the study. During the study, you will be asked to purchase 2 items on eBay, and to list an eBay pen for auction, even if you have never sold anything on eBay before. Again, the pens will be sent to you within ten business days of completing the study. One is to ship to the winning eBay bidder if the pen successfully sold, and the other is for you to keep. Since buying, paying, and selling will take place on the live eBay Web site during the study, you should be prepared to use your eBay userid and password to log into the site when prompted. If you have never sold items on eBay, you will also be required to enter your credit card and bank account information in order to list the eBay pen for sale. It will be useful to have a check handy while completing the study, since the bank check routing number will be required when listing an item for the first time. Individual responses will be used for research purposes only and will remain strictly confidential. The information you provide will be used in accordance with the eBay Privacy Policy, which can be found at the following URL: http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-priv.html.
