Does anyone know if its safe to participate on EBAY ANNUAL SURVEY and pay for prize that they offer as "thank you"?

I've been chosen randomly and the survey is just 4 simple questions. Even it's not a survey, and then they offer me 2 option to choose and pay only $3 for shipping. But the payment is not in Ebay site, and they don't have Paypal option. I scared to enter my credit card info in this site.

Does anyone have the same experience? What can I do?

It doesn't sound legitimate to me. I can't imagine ebay offering a prize and then charging for delivery....actually, I can't imagine them offering a physical prize at all. If you clicked on a link in the email and then signed into your ebay account (or any other account) change the passwords on those accounts right away. Also, forward the email to spoof@ebay.com.

I've never heard of an annual survey done by eBay in the +10 years I've been a member. I would do as PJ said, it probably is spam.

Sounds like they just want to Scam Your Credit Card Number.

No, No, a thousand times No - don't do anything like that!! Not legit, like all those **bleep** phone calls I get, being on theDo Not Call List) does NOT help! Phone Co. can't help me.........Yes, I've won trips (yeah right), credit card debt??? I don't have any! I have a new way of handling these calls if I happen to answer them. Usually I don't if they don't leave a message. Or, like Seinfeld once did I surprise them and ask them when they call around 7:00 p.m. - "can I please get your home phone number, I'm EATING right now!
