That’s eBay for ya.went to the rats years ago. I’m surprised people still even bother with it. Nothing to do with Aussie pricing.
I see this quite a bit. I guess some suckers fall for it.
Seller prob don’t even ship from Australia anyway.

What do want the bag for Jeremy?
If camera gear..anything really... just get a $30 Esky..that's probably what you call a picnic cold box or an ice box...high protection, water proof and cheap... as well as being the perfect fashion statement...plus you can sit on them without harming what is inside. Further grab and run theives do not go for them unlike that floppy bag you posted...

If you really want a Billingham bag, try looking at Amazon - their pricing (from the official Billingham store) is showing up MUCH cheaper than eBay pricing for me.

(When I am shopping for a brand-name product, I will always check eBay, Amazon, and the manufacturer's own web site.)

In this case it's a retail shop and it ships worldwide.

BTW, eBay is really good if you spend just a tiny bit on research. Can buy lots of stuff (not everything but a lot) much cheaper.

Jeremy, check aliexpress.com
Their prices are increasing, but they have been excellent for a variety of purchases, from camera gear to a ukulele and a guitar, in shipping to Oz.
