It's possible that a justified rejection cited a misleading reason. Craigslist requires that you wait a minimum of 48 hours from the original post before reposting the same (or similar) post. (The rules are a little different for paid ads, for which see http://bit.ly/298oYMg.) It's also possible of course that the rejection itself was wrong. For what it's worth [not worth much, unfortunately], you can complain to Craigslist: There's a "contact us" link (you can use https://losangeles.craigslist.org/contact), but don't count on any response or action.

Hope this is useful. Please don't forget to click the Accept This Answer button if you do accept it. My aim is to provide reliable helpful answers, not just a lot of them. See https://www.helpowl.com/profile/Odin.

Generally it took 2 working days (max.) to delete the old post so wait patiently and post it after 2 days. Don't repeat the reposting action which may block your account.

Thanks
