Greetings - Your competitor may be using paid Craiglist Services (which insures that one is able to post more ads and still get by without getting flagged as a result of being suspected as a spam). It is just sad that nitch-mates would flag each other unfairly so at times (there are illegal applications specially designed for this - there are phenomenon called Craiglist Ghosting where your posts would just disappear.

Hope this helps
