Duplicate purchase discussed later (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bye-bye

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'later' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'duplicate purchase discussed' is the wordplay.
'duplicate' becomes 'bye' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'purchase' becomes 'buy' (buy is a kind of purchase).
'discussed' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'buy' sounds like 'bye'.
'bye'+'bye'='BYE-BYE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bye-bye that I've seen before include "Cheerio" , "Childish farewell" , "See you" , "Adieu" , "Informal repetitive farewell" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
