This is the message I posted in Expo's forums and the answer I got from the Administrator, basically I think we are still left to the reviewer's mercy. I am going to upload mine because they all match their database, even though most end up in electronics. I really take offense to the last statement about people purposely changing categories. If they had categorized some of their products right to begin with we wouldn't have done that. Why should I upload and choose what they have if they have put it purposely in the lower category but that category does not fit at all?

We are at the mercy of the reviewer. All of my large kitchen appliances, stove, dishwasher, fridge, freezer are in their database and listed under housewares or electronics. So my question is..if I choose one in their database do I get paid 2 or 10?
This means that if you review a product that matches in our database, your video will be reviewed and paid out at the variable pament pricing. So if you match a stove to our database, then it will be paid out under large appliances.
If you do a review and it does not match a product in our database, it will be paid $2 unless a reviewer thinks the product and review should be paid at the variable payment price. So if your stove does not match in our database, and the product is nationally available, the review is well done, then the reviewer can choose to pay you out under the large appliances category.
We are doing this to encourage people to match a product in our database. We had many videos uploaded in August where creators intentionally did not match a product in our database because they wanted to fit the product into a higher paying category. Hopefully this will better help creators match products accordingly.

We'd love to see this sweet dog in some reviews! 
but they are all well cared for and loved.
......I just checked for approvals only to find 0 approvals BUT 2 rejections!!!! .... one I understand, son stopped camera a second before I was done talking so the review did cut off, BUT the one that was rejected for background noise.... I was sitting outside doing the review and a darn bird was squawking in the background..... not that loud but loud enough to be heard 
I guess the ones I did the day the neighbor kids were riding the 4 wheelers... not too loud on the videos but I bet it will be noticed too 
actually I am that someone that suggested that. I have been too afraid to see the responses on there as I am sure they weren't happy with at accusation. But still... Why else would the not want to fix the database ONCE instead of going through each individual review of the item not in the database.
