What's the procedure to find out if anyone has viewed my shop? Thinking about cancelling after 1 month.

Short procedure.

I would join a critique team before just cancelling. Etsy shops require ALOT of work just to be found. I think your page just might need to be tweaked....not to mention you've only been here a month....it takes most shops longer than that to get their first sale
Just my 2 cents...
Good luck!

Look at your shop stats.
A month? Really? That's barely enough time to even hit the search engines. Try more promoting, better tagging, etc.

giving up already? you've barely even given it a chance!
You have only 4 items in your shop, you've been here only a month and you're already giving up?
It takes time and a lot of work, more you put in, more you'll get.

I'm with the others. Only four items and one month is NOT long enough to make the decision to quit. You will 'get out of your shop' what you put INTO it. You have done the bare minimum and gotten minimal results!
I GRADUALLY built my shop up over the course of THREE years, and did not start getting 'regular sales' until I had over 100 items listed, AND renewed or listed new items EVERY WEEK.
The 'longer listing time' of 4 months here on etsy is a blessing and a curse. I't costs much less to BUILD inventory in your shop and just 20 cents per listing. BUT THEN there is no 'urgency to buy now' like on 'that other site' where auctions end in 10 days at the most.
Think about it if you ever shopped on that auction site. You most likely waited until the last day or last minute to bid, right? And when you were searching for items, you only had 10 days worth of listings to go through, right?
Here on etsy, the shopper has FOUR MONTHS worth of items to search through. And the search feature will bring up the most recently listed relevant items when a shopper searches. So, every day that your item is listed, it moves FARTHER down the list of what comes up when someone searches.
But for now, you really just need to add more inventory and give it more time!
good luck!

Have you considered making neckties, as well? I know a lot of men that'd snatch those up!
You have the potential to have a fabulous shop. Get critiqued and scour the forums for information!
You've paid for 4 months of listing. You might as well stick that out.
