I had that happend once (gas cards used more than two or three times the same day, especially in different states, tend to provoke paranoid in the issuing company, unless you tell them in advance you'll be traveling). I didn't find it embarassing at all. They explained it clearly to me, and the gas station employee already understood.
So long as the credit card companies have to eat nearly 100% of the losses (as they should), they will be erring on the side of caution.
None of that, however, excuses this situation. (PayPal isn't a credit card company, after all, and they apparently had transferred funds already.)
