Sometimes our son does get a bit frustrated after a few days (he's now 14 and has been going since he was about 7) - but he just politely yet firmly says "no thankyou" and this does work.
We explained to him from the outset that the difference between making a sale that day and not can mean food on the table for the sellers. If you explain to them why they are so persistant, kids are pretty cluey and they will learn to be tolerant.
Just don't lose your temper with the sellers.
I love seeing my son intereact and chat with the sellers - your children will be fine.
