Posting Items

How long do I have to wait to post another item? I am moving and need to sell all of my furniture and I can't wait so long because I have a lot of things. I thought i could keep posting as many items as I needed to. Like on Ebay that they allow you to post up to 50 items for free.

You may not post the same item more than once in 48 hours. Until February of 2006, this rule wasn't strictly enforced. Now you will not be permitted to re-post until fully 2,880 minutes have elapsed.

Note that it may take about 15 minutes before a new post is accessible to users.

[Currently, Craigslist is requiring about 15 minutes more than 48 hours before allowing a re-post, in this quirky fashion: It will allow you to delete and resubmit (if the 2,880 minutes have elapsed), but at the end of the resubmission process it will disallow the new post as too similar to another recent post (!). To avoid this situation, add 14 or 15 minutes to the 48 hours, before reposting.]
