Sorry you're having problems. This is not unusual.

Craigslist states:

Posts may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, CL staff, or community moderation -- for non-compliance with terms of use, site guidelines, and/or community norms.

Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has suggestions that may help, here.
