Smashwords can make other arrangements to accept money from their customers.
If they were willing shut down for the time it took them to "retool," then maybe they could make other arrangements. But since Paypal didn't give them enough time to find another working solution without risking a lot of lost sales across the board, it amounts to bullying.

Perhaps Paypal should thoroughly vet potential customers before they accept their business? Wouldn't that make more sense? But of course if they did it that way, then they wouldn't have the necessary leverage to impose their (or their masters' ) will on businesses that have already committed to a certain merchant model.
