How Do I Refresh My Craigslist Ad?
When you edit your Craigslist ad, the changes may not be visible to you when clicking the category link. This is likely due to your browser caching the older page. By refreshing the page, you are telling your browser to retrieve the latest version of the page. You may also need to refresh the category list after you first create your ad. Craigslist only updates the links every 15 minutes, and your ad is only available after one of these updates. Refreshing allows you to see if your link has been added to the latest update.

Uh, this isn't what the question was likely asking. By refreshing an ad one's likely trying to renew/bump it up as a newer posting. They used to have a feature for that, but I'm not seeing it right now.
