PayPal international 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.

PayPal usually protect the buyer but for those purposely buying fake cable s to have PayPal refund their money will likely lose.  The cables sold overseas from non-authorized dealers are absolute fakes.  Not “out the back door” cables. Simply fake.  Reasonably constructed fakes but fakes non the less.  

Unrelated to protection, when you use PayPal for international purchases they charge you a currency conversion fee. I believe that fee is somewhere around 4.5%. 

So factor that in your budget.
