How to report a concerning email that came thru ebay

Question

I recently received a concerning email via eBay from another member. The content was bothersome and don't know what to do. The email is still in my Yahoo email box but I don't know how to forward it to ebay.

The email I am talking about has the last comment from the eBay user stating " You seem to SCREW UP...EFFORTLESSLY...that's quite the talent. Should members say these things to each other over my misspellings of words in the description of an item

If the message was delivered to your eBay message box, please report it this way.

For threatening messages:

1) Block the Buyer from buying from you here https://www.ebay.com/bmgt/BuyerBlock

2) Prevent the Blocked Buyer from further contact by checking the box for

"Don't allow blocked buyers to contact me" under "Buyer Rules", then "Save Changes"

https://www.ebay.com/bmgt/buyerrequirements

3) Report each alarming message using the 3 dots in the upper right of the messaging

4) If possible, report the buyer using https://www.ebay.com/reportamember

They’re messaging you more than what would be considered normal, with no intention of buying the item

If this option doesn't work, then

5) Report the buyer using eBay's social media customer service to get assistance

- https://www.instagram.com/ebay/

Just sent a private message to the page explaining what happened.

Again your reporting reason is

"They’re messaging you more than what would be considered normal, with no intention of buying the item"
And any other concerning language.

6) File a police report, if needed

Reply back and let me know if you need more help.
