I sold a shotgun
once through an online auction to a fellow in Nebraska, and the auction
site was clear the firearm had to be shipped to an FFL there.

That was a FFL sale with a 4473 and a background check.
Any auction site that actually brokers the money or sets up the
details of the transaction will need an FFL involved and maybe two.

Well, it certainly wasn't inconvenient on my end. FFL sent me a copy of
his license, I shipped him the shotgun. I still don't understand what
the problem is with doing business that way.

I agree that is not oppressive but that has been the law for almost a
half century. What internet sales are they talking about?

After looking up the current legislation, it appears they want to
eliminate all private sales. If I want to sell a shotgun to a neighbor
I have known for 30 years, I would still need to go through a dealer.

How will that be enforceable?

I have no idea. I have bills of sale with descriptions and serial
numbers on all my firearms transactions. I wouldn't buy or sell a
firearm without an FFL's documentation.
