San Jose, California-based eBay also said it would use IBM's WebSphere application server, as its platform for V3 technology upgrade.

The V3 is designed to allow eBay to get even bigger. eBay will begin rolling out the project in the fourth quarter and complete it in about 16 months. It will provide greater flexibility and allow eBay to easily add new features and businesses, and improve dependability, eBay said.

Application servers provide a base on which developers build new programs. They also connect back-end functions, such as transaction processing to the front end that the user sees.

The WebSphere deal marks a major win for IBM, which beat out competitors such as BEA Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAS - news), Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and Sun Microsystems Inc.(Nasdaq:SUNW - news), IBM said.
