Sorry for your problems.

Craigslist says, "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." The phrase "omitted from index pages" ordinarily refers to blocking an IP address.

It's not possible from the information you've provided to discern the source of the problem. And it might not be possible under any circumstances.

You may be able to solve the issue with the use of a Web proxy, as offered free at http://www.zend2.com/. Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has additional suggestions here.
