Thanks Mick.
I used Babel fish to send a message to the seller. I truly hope that it correctly translates
"Hello. I am in Australia and wonder if you could ship this item to me. Can you please give a price? Do you speak English? My Italian is very poor.
Thank You
Adrian"
This is what it generated.
"Ciao. Sono in Australia e mi domando se poteste spedire questo articolo a me. Potete dare prego un prezzo? Parlate inglese? Il mio italiano è molto povero. Grazie Adrian"
But when I reversed the babelfish thingo to re-interpret it to english it read like a Chinese instruction manual.
"Hello. They are in Australia and I wonder if you could send this article to me. You can give I pray a price? Speeches English? My Italian is much poor one. Adrian Thanks"

Or Holland or Belgium and probably the Dutch East Indies amonst other places Aardy
The Dutch were like the poms, Portugese and Spanish, hell bent on sailing the world and conquering nations for their empire once upon a time so I reckon Africaans is around a bit more than you might think
