If I post on a Saturday as I use click & send it is recorded as having been lodged then rather than Monday. If I don't have more than two or three parcels then the PO staff process them and then give them back to me to put in the box as mail is collected from there on a Sunday.

Yes indeed it is extremely concerning that others may read that post, and may attempt to mimic this type of process that IMO as presented would be well outside the AP requirements for handling lodged post received over the counter.

IMO though not indicated in post, even if the items were then posted in a street posting box in full view of AP staff, the article scan has become deceptive, as the item is no longer on the PO premises.

The method posted as presented must be also be very concerning to some buyers for obvious reasons, including those that may have lost INR disputes and were not compensated due to paypal policy.  

Even if a back track or further clarification of the original post occurs further along this thread, some readers may not come back to read any potential follow up.

Personally, whilst I think AP is hopeless for a range of reasons, I think that the posting method as presented is likely to be a very isolated, and maybe even unique incident.   Post office staff and contractors have statutory obligations under the Commonwealth's Australia Post Act and given the stakes I can only imagine most would take these very seriously indeed rather than face employment, contract or franchise penalties or even more serious consequences.
