I checked with several FFLs at the gun show, and all of them said private citizen long gun transfers between Virginia and NC were legal. I'll check again this weekend.
I'm confused. Private sale in another state - is it kosher?

Why don't you check with the BATFE? It's their jurisdiction
(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? [Back]
A person may only buy a firearm within the person's own state, except that he or she may buy a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any state, provided the sale complies with state laws applicable in the state of sale and the state where the purchaser resides. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]

Its legal for the FFL to sell to an individual in another state. If they say its legal for an individual of one state to sell a firearm directly to an individual of another state they are wrong. Here's the law:
18 USC 922(a)(3)It shall be unlawful— for any person, other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to transport into or receive in the State where he resides (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, the State where it maintains a place of business) any firearm purchased or otherwise obtained by such person outside that State, except that this paragraph (A) shall not preclude any person who lawfully acquires a firearm by bequest or intestate succession in a State other than his State of residence from transporting the firearm into or receiving it in that State, if it is lawful for such person to purchase or possess such firearm in that State, (B) shall not apply to the transportation or receipt of a firearm obtained in conformity with subsection (b)(3) of this section, and (C) shall not apply to the transportation of any firearm acquired in any State prior to the effective date of this chapter;

Hmmmm, seems like I summarized all of this - including links to the relevant sections of the BATF(E) FAQ page - about 15 posts up.
Or maybe I'm just insane.

It's not you.

No; you're trying to teach the unteachable - those who don't listen to the answer when THEY asked the question; don't bother to make ANY effort to find anything out for themselves, even after you provide a link they need only click on; and don't really want to know because they intend to do it wrong anyway.
Remember the dictum about singing lessons for pigs?

No I.Q. test required to obtain an FFL. No shortage of FFL's who have absolutely no idea what the rules and regs actually say. No shortage of non-FFL's who will tell you exactly what the rules and regs are even though they, too, have absolutely no idea.

When selling across state lines, can one ship directly to a FFL in the buyer's state for the sale, or do interstate shipments need to be FFL-to-FFL?

You can ship directly to an FFL in the buyer's state providing he'll accept a firearm from a non-FFL. Some FFL's won't because they are ignorant of the law or their state has a restriction against it. No federal requirement that interstate shipments be FFL to FFL.
