The previous answer is wrong. Craigslist rarely if ever provides useful answers to such questions. Instead see http://bit.ly/1ZEHyKR, which explains reasons why you were blocked [it may have no relation to anything you've done!] and, most important, offers workarounds. Good luck!

If you've been blocked then you likely violated Craisglist's Terms of Use somehow. You would have to contact Craigslist if you want to find out exactly why you were blocked. Obviously you'll have to do it from a different IP (you can use a smartphone if you have one).
