[W&B] Need help finding somebody insulting me on eBay...

[Ole Tjugen]

Yes, he's registered in UK, giving his adress as "Staffordshire". 77  
positive feedbacks, the only ones recent enough to see what they are are  
for tickets and motorcycle parts. I can't see that he's bought (or sold)  
anything photographic - ever.

regards,

Ole
