Maybe she is one of those lucky people with an AP post box on her street?
I sure wish there was one close to me. Sigh.

Maybe she has a two day handling frame because of ebay's nonsense 'estimated delivery dates'
As mentioned, she could have used a prepaid satchel and put it in a red mail box
I have a 3 day handling time and there is a red mail box literally over the road from my house
Not sure what grounds you have to think the seller is dishonest, unless the feedback she already has gives you reason to think so?

If the seller has used online postage the item is marked as Sent as soon as the label is processed.
I have had items marked as Sent at 2am in the morning.

If I have an early start I generate my eBay labels the evening before. They are immediately marked as sent, but the tracking will not show as received by AP.
eBay label tracking numbers start with 'EBA' so it's easy enough to check.
eBay labels are generally 10% cheaper than the equivalent single prepaid satchel, and it's fairly easy to setup to use them.

Online Postage accounts, operate 24/7. Just because it has been processed, which automatically marks ebay items as posted,
does not mean the item has physically been lodged with AP as yet

Also items are marked as posted as soon as you print an ebay label. Doesnt mean its in the box but as far as ebay is concerned once the money is in their bank from the purchase of the label - its posted !
