By default, this method returns all categories that support parts compatibility. You can limit the size of the result set by using the **filter** query parameter to specify only the category IDs you want to review. **Note:** To return policy information for the eBay US marketplace, specify `EBAY_MOTORS_US` as the path parameter for **marketplace\_id**. **Tip:** This method can potentially return a very large response payload. eBay recommends that the response payload be compressed by passing in the **Accept-Encoding** request header and setting the value to `gzip`. If you specify a valid marketplace ID but that marketplace does not contain policy information, or if you filter out all results, a **204 No content** status code is returned with an empty response body. **Parameters:** - **filter** (string) - This query parameter limits the response by returning policy information for only the selected sections of the category tree. Supply **categoryId** values for the sections of the tree you want returned. Use the [Taxonomy API](/api-docs/commerce/taxonomy/overview.html) to retrieve category ID values. The parameter takes a list of **categoryId** values and you can specify up to 50 separate category IDs. Separate multiple values with a pipe character ('|'). If you specify more than 50 `categoryId` values, eBay returns the policies for the first 50 IDs and a warning that not all categories were returned. **Example:** `filter=categoryIds:{183521|183523|183524}` **Note:** URL-encoding of the parameter list is no longer required. - **marketplace_id** (string) *required* - This path parameter specifies the eBay marketplace for which policy information is retrieved. **Note:** Only the following eBay marketplaces support automotive parts compatibility: * EBAY\_MOTORS\_US * EBAY\_AU * EBAY\_CA * EBAY\_DE * EBAY\_ES * EBAY\_FR * EBAY\_GB * EBAY\_IT - **Accept-Encoding** (string) - This header indicates the compression-encoding algorithms the client accepts for the response. This value should be set to `gzip`. For more information, refer to [Request Headers](/develop/api/sell/request_headers). ### getCategoryPolicies #### GET /marketplace/{marketplace_id}/get_category_policies **Description:** This method returns eBay category policy metadata for all leaf categories on the specified marketplace. By default, this method returns metadata on all leaf categories. You can limit the size of the result set by using the **filter** query parameter to specify only the leaf category IDs you want to review.

Supply the **categoryId** for one or more leaf categories. You can verify if a category is a leaf category by using the [Taxonomy API](/api-docs/commerce/taxonomy/overview.html) and looking for a `"leafCategory": true` tag. The parameter takes a list of **categoryId** values and you can specify up to 50 separate category IDs. Separate multiple values with a pipe character ('|'). If you specify more than 50 `categoryId` values, eBay returns the policies for the first 50 IDs and a warning that not all categories were returned. **Example:** `filter=categoryIds:{3767|171784}` - **marketplace_id** (string) *required* - This path parameter specifies the eBay marketplace for which policy information is retrieved. See [Request Headers](/develop/api/sell/request_headers#marketplace-id-values) for a list of supported eBay marketplace ID values. - **Accept-Language** (string) - This header is required to retrieve metadata for the French Canada, French Belgium, and Dutch Belgium marketplaces.

By default, this method returns metadata on all leaf categories. You can limit the size of the result set by using the **filter** query parameter to specify only the leaf category IDs you want to review. If you specify a valid marketplace ID but that marketplace does not contain policy information, or if you filter out all results, a successful call returns a **204 No content** status code with an empty response body. **Note:** This method does not support classified ads for eBay US Motors categories (EBAY\_MOTORS\_US). For eBay Motors Pro users, use [getMotorsListingPolicies](/api-docs/sell/metadata/resources/marketplace/methods/getMotorsListingPolicies). **Parameters:** - **filter** (string) - This query parameter limits the response by only returning metadata for the specified leaf categories. Supply the **categoryId** for one or more leaf categories. You can verify if a category is a leaf category by using the [Taxonomy API](/api-docs/commerce/taxonomy/overview.html) and looking for a `"leafCategory": true` tag. The parameter takes a list of **categoryId** values and you can specify up to 50 separate category IDs. Separate multiple values with a pipe character ('|').

The identifier of the eBay marketplace is passed in as a path parameter, and unless one or more eBay category IDs are passed in through the filter query parameter, this method will return metadata on every applicable category for the specified marketplace. **Note:** Currently, the Extended Producer Responsibility policies are only applicable to a limited number of categories. **Note:** Extended Producer Responsibility IDs are no longer set at the listing level so category-level metadata is no longer returned. Instead, sellers will provide/manage these IDs at the account level by going to [Account Settings](). **Tip:** This method can potentially return a very large response payload. eBay recommends that the response payload be compressed by passing in the **Accept-Encoding** request header and setting the value to `gzip`. **Parameters:** - **filter** (string) - A query parameter that can be used to limit the response by returning policy information for only the selected sections of the category tree. Supply **categoryId** values for the sections of the tree that should be returned. When a **categoryId** value is specified, the returned category tree includes the policies for that parent node, as well as the policies for any child nodes below that parent node. Pass in the **categoryId** values using a URL-encoded, pipe-separated ('|') list.

This metadata consists of the different item conditions (with IDs) that an eBay category supports, and a boolean to indicate if an eBay category requires an item condition. If applicable, this metadata also shows the different condition descriptors (with IDs) that an eBay category supports. **Note:** Currently, condition grading is only applicable to the following trading card leaf categories: * Non-Sport Trading Card Singles * CCG Individual Cards * Sports Trading Cards Singles and the following coin categories: * Coins: US * Coins: World * Coins: Canada * Coins: Ancient * Coins: Medieval Note that these coin categories are not leaf categories, so condition grading is available for all leaf categories descending from the above categories (except for rolls, sets, and lots). Additionally, condition grading is available for Salvage items in select categories for eligible users. Use the **getItemConditionPolicies** method to see supported categories. The identifier of the eBay marketplace is passed in as a path parameter, and unless one or more eBay category IDs are passed in through the **filter** query parameter, this method will return metadata on every single category for the specified marketplace. If you only want to view item condition metadata for one eBay category or a select group of eBay categories, you can pass in up to 50 eBay category ID through the **filter** query parameter. **Important:** **Certified - Refurbished**\-eligible sellers, and sellers who are eligible to list with the new values (EXCELLENT\_REFURBISHED, VERY\_GOOD\_REFURBISHED, and GOOD\_REFURBISHED) must use an OAuth token created with the [authorization code grant flow](/api-docs/static/oauth-authorization-code-grant.html) and **https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api\_scope/sell.inventory** scope in order to retrieve the refurbished conditions for the relevant categories. Refurbished item conditions are only supported in the Australia, Canada, French Canada, Germany, France, Italy, UK, and US marketplaces. See the [eBay Refurbished Program](https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter/ebay-for-business/ebay-refurbished-program) page in help center for the categories that support refurbished conditions. These restricted item conditions will not be returned if an OAuth token created with the [client credentials grant flow](/api-docs/static/oauth-client-credentials-grant.html) and **https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api\_scope** scope is used, or if any seller is not eligible to list with that item condition. See the [Specifying OAuth scopes](/api-docs/static/oauth-scopes.html) topic for more information about specifying scopes. **Tip:** This method can potentially return a very large response payload. eBay recommends that the response payload be compressed by passing in the **Accept-Encoding** request header and setting the value to `gzip`. **Parameters:** - **filter** (string) - This query parameter limits the response by returning policy information for only the selected sections of the category tree.
