But if the measurements were approximate, they cannot then be accurately as stated.  Either the waist is 32" or it is approximately 32".

With clothes, it's best to put as many accurate measurements as possible including outside length with trousers, hips for ladies trousers (measuring across the front on the flat), even the rise.

Another good piece of information to add is the material as this can affect how it will wear.

I didn't actually say the OPs stars were low - I said (at that time) they were slipping.  The neg probably also hit the stars with low ratings, causing the problem, but it then takes a disproportionate slog to get them repaired.

When the stars show as 4.8 on the feedback page, they could be a bit higher than that or a bit lower.

If it's 4.77, for example, on the seller dashboard, that's getting into the area where the smaller seller is at risk because it will then only take one or two more medium to lower ratings to tip them down into getting a warning from eBay to improve.

If the seller then cannot get the ratings back up in sufficient time, they face either selling restrictions (making it even harder to pull their ratings back up) or a full and permanent suspension.

Sometimes it seems ridiculously and quite unfairly fast and merciless on eBay's part and even more so when you take into account the track records of all those mega sellers who leave trails of unhappy customers in their thousands.

But that's eBay for you.
