What you have to pay is based on the customs declaration done by the seller. Some of them agree to undervalue goods they ship (which is against law), some of them not. In case of suspicion of wrong declaration, Customs can request you to provide a proof of payment of your item so that they can apply the correct VAT / they can also decide to fine you in case of wrong declaration as far as I know. I'm facing those VAT-related things on any deal coming from outside Switzerland.
