"Forum Name" Concept Causes Confusion And Delays

I sell domain names on ebay and a healthy percentage of buyers can't grasp the concept that a "forum name" is different than the "username".  People are so accustomed to the "username" being the key to everything with all other registrars and well, 99% of all accounts they set up online that even when I continuously keep repeating "forum name, forum name, forum name" - they see "username, username, username". Here is a recent exchange with a buyer (most buyers don't actually read the instructions in the listing so I have to message them).

Seller: Thanks for your payment. Please provide your "Dyandot "forum name" (not the username) for the ownership change. Full details are in the listing.
Buyer: (provides username)
Seller: To find your "forum name" copy and paste this link in your browser:
https://www.dynadot.com/community/help/question/find-forum-name
Buyer: Attaches screenshot of username.
Seller: Forum Name.
The information needed is the "Forum Name".
Copy and paste this link in your browser:

*Now I wait and hope that this time buyer will "get it".
