I realize there is no entirely satisfactory way of dealing with the problem, but can anyone suggest a Chinese phrase that will convey the message that they should definitely try someone else without being any more rude than necessary? Would the phrase be different for persistent adults than for persistent children? Thank you very much for helping with an important question. (There are countries to which we won't go because they are known to have this problem.)

In this case, I think you should say "XieXie, Wo Bu Xu Yao" that means "Thank you I need nothing" with a cool expression and do not show your interest with him and just walk away.

I think you'd better say nothing about that, even do not take a look at them if you have no interest in the goods they sell at all. This should be the best answer.
