I've got phone with a green line I want to get rid of. I put it in the "Parts or not working" section. It comes with a case. Every time I try to list it I get the message...
"
It looks like you're listing a mobile phone or smart phone accessory. Accessories for mobile phones, including bundles that only include accessories, should be listed in the Mobile Phone & PDA Accessories categories
If you're listing a cell phone that's bundled with accessories, please use the Bundle Listing item specific. Don't mention any accessories in the title or item specifics if those items are typically included with a cell phone. For example, since mobile phones usually come with a charger, don't add "charger" to your title, unless you have bundled an additional item. To complete your listing, please edit your item specifics, category, or title."
I've no idea what that even means?? All I want to do is sell my phone! Why is it every time I come back here eBay have made it even more complicated to sell stuff???

@agent_z_uk I'm not best placed to help you, but have you tried listing by going to someone's listing for broken phone and clicking "sell one like this". It might help. Otherwise FBMkt place where the only scam you have to watch out for is fake notes.

I found one, but it's an the accessories section? I'm not selling an accessory, I'm selling a phone.

You need to list it in the following category and then select 'For parts or not working' for item condition.

Which is what I've done..............

What happens when you click on the 'sell one like this' text link?
Does it carry over the ''For parts or not working' item condition in the draft listing (which you'll need to heavily edit and change the title, model and item specifics because your phone will be a different model).

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at?

Try creating an item from this link:
And change the title, photo, details etc. to your own. Don't mention anything like a case, charger, cable etc. in the title. (Well you can try, but if you get an error remove mention of them.)
