That's right. That's why an unlicensed person wants to send the gun to a FFL in another state. So, what does that person do when the potential buyer says that the seller does not need a copy of the receiving FFL's license, because he is not a FFL holder himself?

If I understand your question correctly, the guy needs to reprogram his understanding. If he's not an FFL, he needs to get over the false notion that he needs a copy of the receiving FFL's license.
An unlicensed person does NOT need a copy of the receiving FFLs license. He only needs the first-three and last-five digits in the receiving FFL's license. With that information, he can go to the ATF's FFL EZ-Check website and confirm that he's shipping the gun to a valid license holder.
That's all there is to it. Get the numbers. Look them up on EZ-Check. Ship the gun to the address that EZ-Check provides. THAT'S WHAT THE EZ CHECK WEBSITE IS FOR! It really is that simple.
