Ebay motors api - Category is not valid. ID 33562 - ebay-api

Question

Trying to post the item in ebay motors using ebay api call - AddItem. It throws me an error saying as below. Could you please show some light on this.
Note - I am able to add the item manually in ebay motors with compatability. I fetched the item details (which is added manually) using the api call - GetItem. Placed the same details in the AddItem api call. Though it got failed with below error.

Make sure that you using the 100 as the value of the HTTP header X-EBAY-API-SITEID. This ensures that your request is routed to the eBay motors site where the category is valid. Using 0 in the header routes the request to ebay.com where the category is not valid.
