Waiting period before re applying for finance

Hi,

So I'm 18 and was looking to buy a PC. I found the site awd-it.co.uk and ordered the majority of parts from there. I got approved for finance with Klarna, to my surprise, and was pretty happy.

I then went to ebuyer.com and ordered a monitor and a headset also on finance with Klarna, got approved again to my surprise.

I sent awd-it an email asking them if they could switch the mouse colour and got one back saying "I've gone ahead and canceled your order." so they cancelled my finance and I was pretty mad.

Anyways, I went to ebuyer to try and order the parts from there (I would have bought everything from there if I had known they used Klarna and I would have been accepted) and got denied. I'm guessing because of the 3 searches that will have been done in such a short time.

I'm just wondering how long I should wait before trying to apply again?
