Since you gave no information about your ad or about the block, I can give you only general information.

There are many possible reasons for blocking an ad. Unfortunately, Craigslist itself does not document all of these. I've set down the 5 major ones in my article on Craigslist under the sub-head, "Restrictions." Further down, under "Posting Tips," you'll see the best ways to handle the various types of blocks.
