Then weirdly a couple (well dressed woman and homeless looking man in a SUV) was driving up and down my street a few days later so I assumed they were looking for packages. Maybe not... I took a look and that seller is now gone.
My bank flagged it though since I have something set to notify for approval over a certain amount. The couple might have still been looking for packages since it was the holidays... it might have just been a coincidence they were there right after someone tried to charge an expensive item to my account. I still changed all emails and passwords.
Edit: Use two factor where available. Not sure how these sellers are able to keep doing it to you.
It's called "brushing"
"Due to the unbalanced pricing policies of the United Postal Union and subsidies from the U.S. Postal Service, it costs people in China virtually nothing to ship small packages to the U.S. That, combined with the super cheap price they pay for the junk they ship, makes brushing a quick and cost effective way to move up the sales rankings – which means everything for e-commerce merchants."
