Or maybe just a chuck you can use
The reason they can ship it so cheap, is partially in the way international postage works. Long ago, it was agreed that each countrys post office only needs to get an international package to the intended country. From there, it is the countries postal system to get the package to the reciever. The original idea wss that international mail was roughly equal, so the costs were shared. That way they did not need to factor in what the intended countries system would charge, and add it to what they charge for moving the package. Now in this case, Chiona post just needs to get the container to the us, from there, it is our post office that bears the cost to move the item from the port of entry, to the receiver. I understand that many locations in china, all they have to do is deliver the package to the shipping office, and China subsidizes the cost of shipping the container to the US. So likely in this case, the only cost to the seller is to drive the package across town. So our post office is bearing the majority of the cost of delivering the packages.
I do not think the accounts are hacked. Rather, it is a seller that opens a ton of accounts,. and sells small stuff to build up a good reputation, and feeedback, so PayPal will transfer the money quickly. Then after a year or more, they bombard the account with super deals like thease, and hope to get enough money as they can, before they get shut down. Since this is happening so much, I suspect it works for them.
