I recently had this experience and I cancelled my order but the pending transaction was there for roughly 2 weeks on my debit card.

I looked at is this way.

Say I have £100 in my account for arguments sake and I order an item for £75 which is pre-authorised. I cancel that order but £75 of that £100 is not available to me from my bank account, I can only take out £15 despite cancelling and until whoever it is presses a button or flicks a switch and the authorisation is removed giving me access to the full £100 again.

That reads a little woolly but hopefully you get my point.

What did you spend the other £10 on?
