The seller is attempting to make up the shortfall of his selling price by padding the shipping costs. As an example, I bought my injectors off E-Bay from a guy in San Diego and he then wanted $42usd for shipping with USPS. I used the shipping calculator on the USPS site and using a very generous weight estimate, came up with ~$18usd. The seller and I settled on $30usd for shipping, but when it showed up it had $8usd postage on it. This is only one example, it has happened other times as well. Currently, I'm expecting a package from Leon which has been shipped express courier and IIRC the cost was $54aud, however your turbo manifold is somewhat heavier. OK, so curiosity got the better of me and I went to the AusPost site and checked the cost. http://www1.auspost.com.au/pac/ Assuming a weight of up to 10kg (22 lbs) this guys cost estimates look to be bang on the money. He's not trying to pull any scam at all. Hope this helps.
