If indeed the charge hasn't hit the account then you are safe.
The only risk is sometimes charges on accounts aren't updated in real time (unlike authorisations) - so there is a chance that in the next day or so you'll see the charge backdated a day or so.

The company is Vodafone, the £99 is for a purchase. It's an upfront fee for a contract phone which they are unable to deliver for 2 weeks. They put the auth on it when I ordered but have told me that they won't take the money until its despatched.
I would never bank on a retailer saying that they won't take payment.
Also that auth could sit there for 14 days.
You took the best option in making a small payment.
I would not expect any charges.Never ASSUME anything its makes a>>> A55 of U & ME <<<0
