I have been buying products from AliExpress for years and if I can add as a reseller I buy from other sites as well
The facts are -
-Sellers have descriptions/images of a product then send you something else. (The Chinese or whoever seem to have a different approach to advertising products they sell)
-Products you buy on Ali Express might be cheaper than elsewhere (e. G local) BUT warranty does Not exist!
- Products you buy might be cheaper than elsewhere BUT Returns, free returns(no such thing) and warranty is irrelevant if the buyer pays all postage fees -if it's return to the seller or /and repost by the seller.
-Products you buy might be cheaper than elsewhere BUT it takes depends to what country 1-3 months to receive the product.
-Products you buy might be cheaper than elsewhere (local) BUT you might not receive the purchased item!
-Dispute claim - Not always in the buyers favour even if the buyer is right!
Summary:
For many years Ali Express has had an unprofessional work practice and it's not getting any better, even though they have a dispute process Aliexpress needs to realise that buyers are on their site to buy products and NOT to open disputes!

I was a member of Model Mayhem a few years ago and this site seems to be getting worse. Model Mayhem has become a society of so called photographers who are more like perverts, porn recruiters and worse, the so called models are strippers and call girls. But in saying that not all of the photographers and models on Model Mayhem are in that category so then we have the Moderators/gatekeepers to rectify this. The moderator's task is simply to " keep the BAD in and to keep the GOOD out ". MUAs could be excluded as they offer their services for free as part of the Mua's training. What are the alternatives to model Mayhem? Or similar websites that are more appealing. The StarNow website is much more professional and Facebook photography / Model groups are much more viable.
