I'll be honest, I actually use eBay from time to time, so I won't be getting rid of my own PayPal account. That, and I don't find this particular "censorship" issue that bad. FIAK, this is erotica that either skirts the law or is flat- out illegal in a lot of states, and both Smashwords and PayPal are justified in removing it. And its understandably illegal too; even most people into BDSM find the stuff in question distasteful.
If they were going after stuff like political tracts, even neo-nazi ones, I might be inclined to agree with most of you. But this isn't. This stuff can't even pass the infamous Lemon Test.
