I have noticed this weeks ago already, but decided not to mention it because I didn't know if multi-tabbing was common knowledge (and it could be seen as misuse of the codes). If you multi-tab, the server will generate an Error 500 (internal server error) for some reason, probably because it tries to make a code unusable, which was already done with the previous purchase. Still, as you have already bought the book and paid for it, it will still be in your library.

This procedure is different to the previous times I've multi-tabbed in that I keep being brought back to the Complete Purchase page and for all intents and purposes it seems that my transaction did not go through.
Whereas previously I was brought to the Error 500 (or whatever) screen.

I'm still getting the Error 500 page.
It looks like Kobo is searching for a way to check on the code used, and if it got through before, to block the sale. It can be done, quite easily if need be, assuming that Paypal supports instant refunds...
