If your ad is not "Not Showing Up," you don't have to worry about a wrong date, because no one will see it.

Craigslist states:

Postings may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, craigslist staff, or community moderation, for reasons including failure to comply with terms of use, posting guidelines, and/or community norms.

For more details, see the full Craigslist page.

Craigslist doesn't like you editing your ad multiple times, especially in quick succession. Try to work out your ad content ahead of time, offline, then once you've come up with the final version, post it to Craigslist.

I learned a neat trick that lets you edit any Craigslist ad content after you've placed it, regardless if Craigslist lets you edit it or not. I learned it from the eBook at this website:

There is also lots of other good information there about how to get around Blocking and Ghosting too.
