I would assume that's a charge to just verify if your card is legit. Many companies do that, but then credit it back.

what ever happened to this charge?
Most of the time you will be charged in an instant like this and it's called a soft or memo post... doesn't really take money out of your account, just makes sure that there is money in the account to take it from... a couple of days later or so it will be hard posted to your account, this is when they actually take the money...

is this what happened to you?

Here's an explanation of memo post
