Craigslist requires that you wait 48 hours (plus an undocumented 15 minutes) from the original posting before you're allowed to post a substantially similar ad.

Go to your account and click on the "edit" link to your listing. When you go to that page, you can change the category on the right side of your ad. Just click on the down arrow and you can find the correct category for your listing and change it to that one.
