How do these stats sound?
Still playing with getting some data in a file download ( I'm just a bit challenged at this kind of stuff). However, I pretty easily counted stamp offerings with at least one view for active listings forI posted from August 1 to now. I counted 175 listings with at least one view for those added since then. Total added and not sold for that period around 325.
How can I interpret this, if at all?
Way too much time on my hands. Should I just stick to tying trout flies and building period wooden sailing ship models? Oh wait...I need to vote.

I guess I just don't worry too much about views anymore or even watchers for that matter. The fact that you have half as many items viewed as listed I guess could be interpretated to mean folks are looking at your offerings.
So I just don't even follow those stats. They are really meaningless. The stat I follow is sales.
That's it.
As Greg says, that all makes sense as a buyer, it's useful, it's another way of having a "Wish list" without a wish list.
But for sellers, this isn't an indicator of anything. I "watch" a lot of stamps that I know do not match the sellers description. I will message them, and wait for them to do the right thing. If they don't I report them to Hipstamp. I have 0 intention of buying them, but I want to keep track to help ensure others don't get ripped off.
There are MANY useful uses of "Watching" but it's not a helpful metric to sellers as a result.
