Everybody doing business with Paypal is now at risk of ebay telling them what they can or cannot sell. Viagra. Condoms. Yeast infection meds. What nnext? Who they can or cannot hire?

I'm thinking Google payments and (yes) AMAZON Payments are licking their chops.
Ultimately, they all are merely processors who have to obey the dictates of Visa and Mastercard. And it is the two credit card companies which have been behind the crackdown on adult material. So you will not find google or amazon stepping up to take paypal's place in providing services for erotica (which to a conservative means porn).
