Here are some reasons why the post might have been rejected:
  1. You may not post "essentially the same item" before deleting the old item. This applies even when posting in a different city or category. So if your post lends itself to more than one category, you need to alternate the categories.

    Workaround: You may be able to overcome this restriction by setting up an additional account with a different email address.

  2. Your post may not contain a link "to a commercial website or auction." You may have to guess whether Craigslist will consider the linked site "commercial."

    You'll be entirely safe if you don't link to any website, but instead invite the reader to email you for more information (very easily done--see below). This option however involves the risk that your reply may be blocked by a spam filter (even though your message isn't spam). You may always give a Web address as non-linking text, or link to a webpage without any links on it.

  3. The Posting Description cannot be longer than 1000 characters. The Posting Description is your entire post exclusive of the title. This seems to apply only to paid listings.
However, it may be just that you can't find your post. The best way to find it is to edit your ad (even if you don't make any actual changes) and then follow the link at the top of Craigslist's confirmation page.
