No, you were not charged although you may see and authorization hold on your account.
The moment you submit a booking request, a pending charge will be applied to your card.
- If the Host approves, your request, your card will be charged immediately
- If the Host declines, the hold on your funds will be instantly released.
If a booking request is not approved, the request will expire within 24 hours and the hold on your card will be released as well.
It is important to note that when the hold on your card is canceled, you will not see a refund on your transaction statement. You'll simply see the original authorization disappear completely after a number of business days. No payment will be made and no refund will be issued. It will appear that the whole transaction never took place.
Your bank should also be able to confirm this. You may need to wait until your card issuer removes the original charge from your pending transactions within 7 business days.
