When categorizing dowloaded transactions it is sometimes not clear if an
existing category is adequate or if I should create my own. Most of the
categories are self explanatory and therefore pretty obvious, others can be
tricky not knowing the perspective from which they were created. Is there
anywhere I can find a full list of categories along with descriptions?

Not really. The names are just that. If they work for you, great. If not,
it's no big deal to make your own. Most of us who have been at this a while
surely have a mix. You can find the "full list" in Categories and Payees and
set it to show subcategories. But "full list" doesn't mean much more than
"default list." There aren't any descriptions anywhere for the reason that
they are probably considered self-explanatory.
