I've been trying to figure out what the correct translation is of the phrase
"I'm just browsing", in a context such as when one is looking at goods in a
store (e.g. if you're walking around the shop and employee asks if you need
help).

This should be straightforward, but my dictionary gives many possible
translations for "browsing" (e.g. 素見{すけん}、冷{ひ}やかし、閲覧{えつらん}, etc.) and I'm not
sure which would be appropriate here. What's the most appropriate translation
of this phrase in the given context?

Correct phrase for "I'm just browsing" in a store
The most common phrase would be:

> 見てるだけです。(Literally: "I'm just looking.")

I think you could also reply like this:

> 店員：何かお探しですか？(Are you looking for anything in particular?)  
>  客：いえ、だいじょうぶです。(No, I'm okay.)
