Hello Roxyspirit5,

There are several reasons why this happened. Such as, someone flagged the wrong post in error. or Someone who may be mad at you flagged it, or maybe your post did not conform to Craigslist's Terms Of use.

Whatever the reason, If the legitimate ad you placed was inappropriately flagged and deleted then you should contact Craigslist to inquire.

The following link takes you to Craigslist "Contact Us" page:

Contact Us

Once there, choose the option "harrassment/flagging" and fill in the information requested. Also change your location in the dropdown menu, if needed.

I suggest you ask why your post was removed and inform them you are posting this again on Craigslist.  

Please keep in mind, you may not get an immediate response, if any at all. My suggestion? As long as you have made Craigslist aware of this error, you should not have an problem re-posting your ad.

Therefore, it is up to you whether you post again or not before getting a response. However, if you choose to enter the item again, please carefully review the post to ensure everything is within Craigslist Terms Of use, before submitting to avoid getting flagged again. 

Please Note: Any blue text is a link for that Craigslist page

Hope this helps.
