CategoryType

The category type discerns whether the policy applies to motor vehicle listings, or to any other items except motor vehicle listings.

Each business policy can be associated with either or both categories ('MOTORS_VEHICLES' and 'ALL_EXCLUDING_MOTORS_VEHICLES'); however, return business policies are not applicable for motor vehicle listings.
