Where did you do your research and how much of the research did you just rephrase?

I can't see your work, but there are several possibilities including:

1. You previously used the article elsewhere under another byline
2. You rewrote another article (or parts of one). Rephrasing Wikipedia (for example) is likely going to flag an article as copied and even if it passes the automated checks it is going to be pretty useless to the buyer anyway.

Sorry - let this be a warning to new writers not to blow a good opportunity.
