Every time I ship a firearm and I fill out the online form and it asks for the contents I tell them it's a firearm specifically what brand. Then I print it out an stick it on the box and drop it at the hub where they throw it on the pile without looking at it. People make things hard for themselves.
Where are guns being purchased online without background checks?

Not all. There are familial exemptions. I haven't done a transfer in Washington yet. Not sure if the dealer charges transfer sales tax on top of whatever fee they charge. It's a sales tax happy state.

This is a false topic designed to infuriate the unknowing masses. .

So Armlist is not selling the gun, it is just putting a seller and buyer together. (I have never been on it, I buy from LGS or friends.) An online seller is just that and will accept payment and send to a dealer for the background check. So is there any online sellers that do NOT do this? Where is there an online site where I can pay for the gun and get it shipped to my house without a background check?

If you are asking about an online DEALER in firearms, there are none that would do so. That's been against federal law for a long time.
As you said, there are plenty of venues by which you can go online and find a non-licensed owner willing to sell you his or her gun, though. And that's perfectly legal, too, so long as you're both residents of the same state.

But this is not the connotation our Beloved Community Organizer in Chief and his Designated Successor are going for.

Politics is about misinformation, and leading people to believe incorrect things in order that they will support "fixing" them. This includes everything from misidentification (like "automatic weapons") to calling for new laws that already exist.
There is no gun show loophole.
There is no online sales loophole.
The same rules of dealer or private sale apply as anywhere else, but its a lot easier to make people BELIEVE online and gun show sales are completely unregulated.

USPS allows shipment of long guns between unlicensed individuals within the same state as long as it's not otherwise prohibited.

Using the internet like an ad in a local paper is "selling", but we all know that the exchange of goods for money or other goods takes place elsewhere. That's not the impression is given though when POTUS and Antis say guns are sold on the internet.
OTOH, we have seen rare occurrences where people try to purchase firearms without carrying out the exchange within the same state and without any effort made to identify whether the buyer is someone we'd want to sell to or prohibited. Those are the very small minority of cases opposed to the normal face to face trades and sales that folks that "meet" on the internet or from the paper legally carry out.
