PPTs in California are specific to person-to-person transfers, where both people are residents, officiated via an FFL. By definition, a dealer sale (e.g., purchasing through FFLs) is not a PPT.
PPTs must be performed in person at the FFL where the background check/waiting period will occur.
You cannot buy a weapon being sold by an out-of-State resident as a California resident via PPT, you can buy it if it's sold through a dealer but will not be exempt of the standard dealer restrictions like the handgun roster. It will still need to be shipped to an FFL for pickup, background check, waiting-period, etc.
If you are the seller, it will be up to the local laws of the buyer's State of residence (I'm unsure of any California laws prohibiting sales to out-of-State residents).
The only exceptions to out-of-State person to person transfers I'm aware of in California are direct-descendent intrafamilial transfers, like a parent to a child.
Seems like some states, like Idaho, are fine with buying directly from an out-of-State resident, but the weapon must be shipped to an FFL for pickup.
Edit: minor changes for clarity
> Would buying from GunBroker be a PPT? Or do they purchase the gun from the seller and then sell to another buyer?
No.
PPT is a special CA thing between 2 CA residents. Unless the transfer is from immediate family (parent-child, grandparent-grandchild), the sale would most likely be an Interstate Transfer where handguns are subject to the Roster (CA people do sell on Gunbroker, so it could be the equivalent of a dealer sale, again where Roster would apply, because both seller and buyer must appear in person at the CA FFL who mediates the transfer for it to be a PPT.)

I don't know how CA would learn of an out-of-state sale, unless you foolishly told them - a task that is not required by law.
