Threatening messages sent by eBay seller a day after purchase? | Buying

So I bought and paid for an item and at random I received not one but 4 in a row random unsolicited messages containing accusations of being a scammer, being told that they’ve checked and my PO Box number (which I’ve had for 6 years) is fake, which they’ve supposedly confirmed with Australia post, followed by threats to have the parcel recalled and returned to the seller and that I’ve been reported to the police for being a scammer, you’ll get what you deserve, arrested when you pick up, that sort of thing. Has also said that I’ve claimed the money back and trying to scam the item. I know it’s a bunch of BS but still not nice to receive. I’m guessing that as the seller has only joined in May this year, looks to have sold only 2 items one of which was to me and only has 4 feedback for purchases, they might be under a withhold of funds from eBay. Is this still a thing for new sellers? Can I and should I report the conversations to eBay at all? And how do you even consider feedback for a seller who does that?
