Yes, you have to pay VAT for the goods.
Since in many cases from china the goods are declared as "empty boxex" or "gifts", sometime you doesn't pay it, but if they catch you, you risk a winter because of a fake declaration to custom. So ever pay the fee that they propose you to handle custom related problems themself.

I did not paid any taxes when I received my order

If and how much you have to pay to customs depents on the country.
Normaly when ordering from outside your custom-area there will be no charges under a minimum amount, between minimum and an other certain amount you pay only taxes and above that amount duty as well.

If you choose super saver delivery you don't have to pay anything but you'll have to wait a lot more to get your goods. If you choose express delivery you'll have to pay customs charges (usually to DSL). But if your order is less than 20 € DSL doesn't use to charge that customs taxes. I'm in Spain.

I'm in the UK had to pay nearly £40 import VAT and handling charge! If my items had been of higher value I would have to pay customs charges too. The courier would not release the goods for delivery until I paid this charge! Very expensive for me in the end, for what was essentially cheap tat!

Yes, it is under probability that you will pay but this has nothing to do with Lightinthebox if u eventually pay. It has to do with ur country's custom criteria n ur postal service... am a nigerian, and I have been using litb for a year now and they are super amazingggggggg.

I am in the US and did not have to either.
