I'm having a lot of trouble getting peoples in game name if they don't list it in their shop thread...
Besides clicking on their profile and hoping one of the characters shown is actually one they currently play, is there a reliable way to get a users IGN?

Shop threads link to a website called poe.trade
If you search the item in question there, you can click a button that says "Whisper" and just copy paste the text into your chat box to message them.

You can copy their account name, for your case "apexmateria1" and the pm will get through regardless of which char you are on. IF they are online.
Best and easiest way is still PoE trade. try to get used to that and it will save so much time when it comes to buying since you can filter out who is on and who is not.

Hm, thing is can't someones forum handle be different from their in game account name?
Seems like only 20% of the time forum handle will work for me.

Not as far as I know unless GGG gave an option to change the account/forum name. I could be wrong, I have had this name since 2012 and I haven't change anything to it.
that's what I would do to get ahold of sellers before poe trade was a thing

Account names in game and on this website are one in the same. People can have multiple accounts though.
You only need to know one character name of the person you are trying to whisper. If they are online with any character, the whisper will be redirected to them.
