16yr old Unauthorized O/D

My 16 yr old son recently upgraded his bank account so he could buy items instore or online with his bank card.
With enough money in his account for a new graphics card for his Pc his 1st purchase online was a new £150 graphics card for his Pc.
He joined a pc parts site and tried to order the new card, 1st attempt didn't go through.
HIs 2nd attempt didn't seem successful either so he tried to buy it a 3rd time which appeared successful.
Now he has 2 graphics cards & is £150 in debt with the bank as it let the both graphics card purchases through.
Should the bank have allowed this ?

It sounds as if they did not go through in real time, so yes.
Can he return one and get a refund?0 -
He's trying to get one returned but they have not replied to his email yet.0

Surely Distance Selling Regulations would cover this regardless of how many cards he has received?0

You're too young to have a 16 year old son

Which online PC parts store was it?I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.
