EBay blamed the previous outage on custom database software from Sun, but the web site itself uses Microsoft IIS/3.0. netcraft.com

This notice about the outage makes it sound like the initial problem were hardware and not software failures on the web servers themselves:

beta.siliconinvestor.com
"A preliminary evaluation suggests that there hardware
failures on its server. Those hardware components were
immediately identified and replaced, and the system was
rebooted. At the time of the rebooting, the primary and
the backup databases were up and functional. However,
we then encountered network anomalies that have
prevented access to the site."
