Anyone else get this email (below)?

Anyone else think the $100 gift card is a ploy to get you to do the 10 min survey? I wonder what the "study criteria" are???

Have you looked closely at the header details to the email and did it arrive in both your eBay mail and a backup email address or just 1 place?

Both... it's legit and from eBay.

So maybe it's targeted...?

Yeah randomly targeted!

 

I've seen this type of survey before from eBay but it's been many years since I received one but I am pretty sure the payoff was a lot less than $100.

I went ahead and completed the survey. It really was just a legit screening and super quick. They just asked age, race, gender, location, and what ebay site I sold from. And when I was available next week for the interview.

I'll update if I get picked!

I can understand why they would want race and gender, but am a little surprised if they are not options.
