If I am the seller and the buyer is out of state. He sends me a check from his company. Not in his name. But his companies name. Is this a straw purchase? the gun is going from FFL to FFL. He has provided a photo ID. Address. Number.
FFL
To
FFL...
Just wondering about the definition of a straw purchase and if this is one.

If I am the seller and the buyer is out if state. He sends me a check from his company. Not in his name. But his companies name. Is this a straw purchase? Depends. If the company is engaged in the buying and selling of guns and the purchaser hold the FFL, then no. In any other case, a company can't purchase a gun, only an individual can and the individual can only legally purchase it for him/herself.

The authorities probably do not see such a purchase as deFine straw purchase but rather as deIllegal straw purchase.

No, that's not anywhere close to being a "straw purchase." A "straw purchase" is the actual retail purchase of a firearm, either from an individual or federal firearms licensee, by someone who knows they cannot legally possess a firearm via an intermediary who can legally possess firearms.

I had already answered the question correctly.

I too read that definition.
I'm just suspicious because the check did not name him has the remitter- You're thinking about this too hard. And going somewhere you don't need to be going. You stated the buyer is out-of-state, did you not? Therefore the firearm is being received by a valid federal firearms licensee, is it not? You received a valid and acceptable form of payment, did you not? Ship the firearm and let the FFL holder run the NICS and handle identifying and validating the purchaser. Buying guns doesn't need any additional hassles because you want to play Mannix and police parts of the transaction that were never your responsibility in the first place.

I believe it is Up To us the sellers to "Police" our sales. ... I too read that definition.
