Hello,
I'm new to Etsy and I'm not sure, but I think the shop stats count not only other people's visits, but the shop owner's too. When you are a succesful seller it is not a problem, but it is very annoying when you are a beginner. I have this shop since 24 hours, so I have had only 10 visitors and I think 7-8 of them were me.

If you are signed into Etsy with the ID you use for your shop, then your own views are not counted in Shop Stats. If you view your shop when you are not signed in, those views will be counted.

Keep in mind that one "visit" can produce a lot of views if someone clicks through lots of your items.

this is so helpful. thank you--- I've been wondering if when I view things, if it is 'me' or others...
Thank you!

This is why I love the teams...The question gets answered and we all benefit from the input of someone that knows the facts.
Thanks!

This is what Etsy says. Yes, it's the same thing the sellers all said.
