are there legitimate web sites which pay users to complete surveys?
Hello and Good Evening Everyone
I have heard there are web sites out there which pay its users to take their surveys. Personally, I find this either too good to be true or if it is true, there has to be some sort of catch. Since I am basing my thoughts on conjecture, I am wondering what the true story is behind this.
Any shared thoughts or insights to this question will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello and Good Afternoon Everyone
Thank you so much for the shared suggestions and tips. I would have to agree that earning money from taking surveys does not yield much with respect to earnings. In addition to trying out the recommended sites listed, I am considering musicxray and surveysavvy. Before trying out any of these sites, I do have a followup question about PayPal which does tie into all of this. Many of the companies will give a pay out either by check or PayPal. With respect to PayPal, I do have an account with a username and password. While I have made purchases in the past using my PayPal account, I have never collected money through it which brings me to the point of this followup question. How do I go about doing this? Is there a fee PayPal charges for the funds to transfer through? Do the funds transfer over before any fees are collected by PayPal? Finally, how long does it normally take PayPal to transfer collected funds over to my bank account?
In closing, I apologize for so many questions. However, this is a new adventure for me which naturally arouses many curiosities.

Hello and Good Afternoon Everybody
Thank you for your shared insights in addition to your links. I did try mysurvey.com the other day. While I have not gotten any points yet, I have like over 250 entries built up into sweepstakes. To me personally, it does seem like it would consume large quantities of time to have very little, any any, return. Of course, I have only completed 3 surveys. Perhaps it takes the completion of several to start points. At any rate, I am more interested in participating in an online project which will yield bigger rewards in a smaller amount of time.
Regarding my PayPal question, please disregard it. I believe I can follow up further and figure that part out when the time comes for it.
Have a great rest of the day.

Thank you so much for your shared views and links. I will follow up further with the suggested two given here. With respect to researching unfamiliar sites, what would be the necessary steps for accomplishing this goal? What sort of things should I look for which would indicate the need to avoid them?
