If you had used a card for which the issuing bank was located outside the USA 50 states, and you were having it shipped to an address that wasn't the billing address (I read your comment on that)'then it could have been considered high risk with so much security at the financial level on card fraud, I'm sure your bank might've declined it and you would have called your card issuing bank and said "It's mine, please authorize it." What I do not know is how the EMV standard will change MOTO (mail order--telephone order). I could only speculate that this merchant may have been the subject of too much fraud and that then causes them to have harsh security measures imposed by their credit card merchant processing company.
