PayPal international protection


Is PayPal protection good on international purchases? An example would be an international seller listing and thus selling a fake pair of cables to a US buyer. Would the buyer be protected by PayPal?

If buyer raises an issue money are blocked till case is closed between seller and buyer.
Kind of protection.

If you are buying cables from a non-authorized dealer overseas, you can count on them being fake copies. 
I've never had a buying  problem that Paypal  didn't cover. They did better than the card for me.
