When attempting to upload ads containing the word "preamp" (which we have done successfully in the past), we are getting back a response that "preamp" is an unapproved supplement and the "isExemptable" property is set to "false".  This used to work fine, but has been returning the rejection for the past few weeks. 

We are an Electronics Retailer, and a "preamp" is "an electronic amplifier that prepares a small electrical signal for further amplification or processing".  I have never heard of any sort of "unapproved supplement" called a "preamp".  Either way, the "isExemptable" field needs to allow us to resubmit an exemption request so a human being can process these ads.

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this up and providing logs. I've filed a request with the relevant policy team to review this term.

Cheers,
