I listed the house using another account, with minimal text info and a link to the zillow ad. It worked! Thanks to all for your help.

I had this problem too. After a lot of looking around, the only thing that seemdd reasonable is that the ad was blocked by craigslist due to the http links throughout the zillow generated ad. I spent a lot of time trying to eliminate most of the links and leave the pictures refreneces and it still would not post. I finally rewrote my ad and reposted it without the links and it was fine.
It would be nice if Zillow would address this issue. The problem may not be universal in all areas and on all craigslist servers. My as was posted in connecticut.

They have "ghosted" your ad. When everything looks right but it doesn't show in the general inventory, your ad has been caught by one of Craigslist's filters to prevent spamming.
The ad will never go "live" it will only take up to 15 minutes for an ad to go live pass that it will never go live.
Try to repost the ad with a different headline. If that doesn't work you might have to open a different account to see if it will go through.
I have done 1,000s of ads with Craigslist and one of the triggers is the amount of HTML code that you are using.
Another way to do an ad is to just make a plain text ad with a link to the zillow flyer ad page. Just navigate to the Zillow page and copy the URL in the top of your browser window. Then paste that into your ad....it will be a clickable link as long as you put "http://" in front of the URL.

I like to feed them from postlets. Have you tried doing it from postlets.com?
