I used AliExpress to get plenty of products for myself, from Halloween decorations up to bicycle accessories. 80% of the products that I oredered arrived, and for the other 20% I was refunded. The refund process takes a while (between 10 and 30 days for dispute and up to 30 more days for refund to get in bank account). Some products arrive within a month while for others it may take even 3 months to arrive since they are sent from China to Europe. There is a courier option faster that's faster but is insanely expensive (e.g. 50$ shipping for a 10$ product) while postal shipping is usually free or cheap (up to 5$). Good products backed by 3month warranty.

This website used to be good for freelance writers, I worked here for several years. However, in the last year thst I worked (2018), article requests were getting fewer and freelance writers were getting plentier, so we were actually competing in the time of milliseconds to pick up requests. Prices of articles were not changed at all, while the cost of living went up. In the end, I had to pick up any article theme just to make a living and clients were also getting more demanding day by day. Furthermore, some reserved requests even if it wasn't allowed (they said in description: This article is reserved for *****. Do not pick or you risk a 1 star rating). As I was not able to get more article requests in an end, I had to create another account to start from scratch and thats when they banned me saying I cannot have 2 writer accounts on their website. All in good fortuneas I found a better freelance job somewhere else.
I worked there between 2014 and 2018. Currently I don't recommend it.

This site used to be good, I even landed 60$ live conversation tests before (1 hour on videotalk = 60$), but that was before... In the last year, they really screwed up... Customer service takes weeks or months to get back to you when you have even the most basic request, screener got extremely difficult and ultimately I stopped receiving tests at all. I wrote to them about that and they deactivated my account, well I said very good as I wasnt using anymore anyway so less of my data that you have stored, the better. I suggest to avoid this site

I got so low-paying projects here, which is way below the market. Recently I got a 150 euros project which employer paid for in advance, but when I tried withdrawing the money: surprise. Money no longer available, milestone was reversed (presumably on the cause of account issues with employer). Honestly? Now I have -13 euros in my balance and my entire payment disappeared. Here is my conversation with their live support:
