True, but their statement earlier in the thread indicates clearly that PayPal gave them too short notice to arrange for an alternative. For an online retailer, shutting down business on their website for any length of time, while working out a deal with for example Google, is very dangerous, and they may never recover from the loss of revenue and the publicity that follows.
So in theory I suppose they had a choice. In practice though, it wasn't much of one.
