Blocked Listing

Graigslist is blocking my ad saying it is similar to the other one. I am trying to list a MAC w/14" chainsaw and the other one is a McCulloch 16" chain saw. Why is it doing this. I just listed 2 others that were more similar but different model numbers. Thanks

Craigs works on an algorithm. If the ad is TOO similar to what was posted before it will deny it. Try rearranging the sentences ...spell out numbers in the phone number etc. It will work.
