These are the most common reasons for rejection that may apply to your situation:

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. You may not post the same item more than once in 48 hours. You will not be permitted to re-post until fully 2,880 minutes have elapsed.

Hint: Bringing up your post as submitted, by clicking on its heading on your account page, will disclose the date and exact time posted, two lines below the head.
3. Your post may not contain a link "to a commercial website or auction." This is an example of a rule I haven't been able to find anywhere, until I was blocked for violating it! You may have to guess whether Craigslist will consider the linked site "commercial." Craigslist's current enforcement of this restriction seems to be minimal.
You'll be entirely safe if you don't link to any website, but instead invite the reader to email you for more information. 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.

If none of these seems to apply to you, please provide complete specifics in a follow-up post here, including the text and title of each ad rejected together with the text and title of each ad accepted in the same time frame. Also include any notices from Craigslist concerning rejected ads.
