I submitted a passport for my photo ID in regards to a Paypal limitation. Paypal rep said they cannot verify the passport #. Since when did Paypal have ability to check government #?! |

THey can't, they are not allowed to.
Call them back and most likely you'll get a slightly more sane person on the phone who might be able to help yo ufurther.
remember one rule: eBay & paypal ALWAYS lie! ALWAYS

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they can actually verify your Passpord ID when you submitted it for verification.

Paypal is now calling themselves a financial institution when all they are is a payment processor.
They believe they can just make up the rules and change the laws.

Pretty soon, attorneys and lawmakers might start calling them a financial institution as well. And I'm sure they don't want THAT!
Just like eBay and PayPal being SEPARATE COMPANIES (when it suits them, of course).

I would call up PayPal and ask to speak to an account executive. A manager. Someone who can actually help you. If it went to a review team then ask to speak with one of those people. You may have to call multiple times to get anywhere. If you really want your account back you want to talk to someone as high up as possible and specifically the individual that decided to hit you with this limitation.
To be honest you are going to have to be very pushy and persistent. In many cases rude to get high up enough on the food chain to actually talk to someone that can help you.

And the passport is the last document that should ever be submitted in any case.
