Where do I enter the sale of Collectibles where I did not receive a 1099-B? The only way I have found to enter references "info should match your 1099-B"

I want to make sure that box C is correctly marked on the form 8949. Items were sold on Ebay. No tax forms received this year.

The sale of collectibles is entered as investment income.

Go to Wages & Income

  1. Scroll to Investments 
  2. Select Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B)
  3. Answer Yes to "Did you sell any Investments? Answer No to "Did you get a 1099-B or brokerage statement?"
  4. Enter the information about your sales
  5. After you enter information about the sale: Description, Date sold, Date acquired, Sales proceeds, Cost or other basis, Click Continue
  6. Any of these less common items for this sale? Put a check in the third line for Proceeds from collectibles

Thank you for the response but  my version  does not give me that option.

I'm able to go to Wages and income -> Investments and Savings -> + Add Investments - > Enter a different way -> and then I'm given the option of "Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds" or "Other.

If I click other, it never asks if I received a 1099-B and if I click "stocks, bonds, mutual Funds" It asks who sent me a 1099-B but doesn't give the option for no 1099-B.
