eBay API AddFixedPriceItem call returns 'The category selected is not a leaf category' error

I am making a call to eBay AddFixedPriceItem and it is returning the following error 

The category selected is not a leaf category.

I tried various categories and still got the same response. So far I can't see any support for this solution at different forums.

Is there anyone who can guide me why it is happening and how do we identify which is a leaf category.

I also have a function that calls to eBay GetCategories and it simply returns an array of category_ids and names.

Appreciate your help.

When adding a listing, you need to add it to a leaf category, not a meta category or other categories in the category tree.

Which category are you trying to add your listing to?

For example, you can't add an item to catID=1 (Collectibles/Collectables). It's not a leaf. You need to find a subcategory that has no children, for example catID=165362, which is Collectibles > Comics > Bronze Age (1970-83) > Sports .
