I accepted a job offer verbally on the phone but when I received the contract the specifics were not as agreed so I politely declined the offer.

I then got a phone call from the recruiter who was a bit miffed at me, but it got me thinking, does turning down a job get you marked down as a time waster and potentially blacklisted?

Obviously I am a credible candidate as I got the job offer but do you think the same recruiter will forever ignore any of my future applications?

Yes I explained to the recruiter but I'm not sure he was listening, he called me on his mobile from a very loud public place and didn't seem to care except to express his disappointment.

I'm not overly worried but I did wonder if a blacklist exists.

Ironically the recruiter is the same person who deals with recruiting for my existing employer and so I occasionally speak to him.
