Rosie Reid, an 18-year-old social policy first year student at Bristol University, hit the headlines when she put herself up for sale on a website last month.
According to the website, when the online auction closed the highest bid was $22,400.
The site says the winning bidder for the student, who is a lesbian and in "desperate financial crisis", will be contacted on Wednesday.
A spokeswoman for the university said: "As far as the university is concerned, we have no comment as it's not a university issue and the student is an adult."
The website states: "Rosie's auction highlights the financial problems that face today's students."
A spokesperson for Reid later said she refused to comment on the situation.
