Sorry for your problems.

1. You can't repost an ad before 48 hours (plus an undocumented 15 minutes) from the original posting.

2. You should however be able to edit your ad at any time. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as Craigslist may reject edits (without notice to you) for reasons that are may not be at all clear.

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.
