Paypal have told Smashwords that they can't sell any indie books with rape, bestiality, and one of the biggest sellers on the market - incest.
All the indie authors on the web forums I go to are all 'chicken-little' about the situation, while I'm sat there thinking that I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Hasn't this been in Paypal's T&Cs for years?
Well, hopefully, Smashwords can hook up with folks at CCBill or Paxum...

It is not feasible for us to simply switch to another provider, should such a suitable provider even exist, especially with so few days notice.?

Is it really as hard as he makes it sound?
