There really are survey companies that pay you to take their surveys and you should not have to pay for a list.  Below are some good companies to do surveys for.  I suggest downloading roboform to use in filling out the sign up pages for each.  Take a look at my article on survey companies here.
You can get roboform for free by clicking the link below.  It's just so much faster for filling in your name, address, etc.
