Is there a polite expression to tell a helpful store clerk that you are just browsing and don't want help?

We've learned all sorts of ways a store clerk may ask if they can help us, and numerous ways to communicate that we need or want something. But, suppose I don't want help, I'm just browsing thru Karstadt to work on my vocabulary or see what the prices are like compared to the US. Here in the US I just say "I'm just looking" and they know I'll ask if I decide I do need help, but until then not to keep offering.

Hi there,

you could say the following:

"Ich schaue mich nur um, vielen Dank" - I'm just having a look, thanks.

I hope that helps.

Paul
