    All you need to do is go to Advanced search and click on the search by bidder link on the left hand side, then enter the username. I use this all the time and works fine.
    Of course, if he is bidding on his own things, then he will probably be using multiple accounts.

    You can go to http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=xxx , where xxx is the username.
