Students at Exeter University put the institution up for sale on internet auction site eBay as part of their protest against proposed cuts.
The university wants to end degrees in music, chemistry and Italian.
On Wednesday night, the highest mock bid was £10m and the page had received more than 4,000 hits. The auction website removed the page on Thursday.
The university has insisted the students will be able to finish their degrees in the affected departments.
In the Rules and Policies section of the website, eBay says it reserves the right to "delete any listing that may violate any legal provision or the general principles and values of the eBay community".
