A pending charge is the same thing as an authorization.
When anyone charges your card, it firsts shows as an authorization. Once the merchant deposits the transaction, it becomes a posted charge. If they don't deposit the transaction, it'll drop off in a couple of days. There's no way to tell just by looking at a charge if it'll post or not.
Oh, and just in case you didn't bother to read the terms and conditions on Camcrush when you made the charge, here they are:
"Moreover, a nominal onetime application of a two dollar ($2 USD) transaction or "authorization" hold is applied to your credit card upon initial enrollment, which CAM CRUSH uses to confirm the integrity of your account information. This is not a Charge and will automatically be released per your card issuers discretion and policy."
Next time, try poking around before making baseless accusations.
This is common practice both online and offline. Like Sly said, hotels will do this, as will car rental agencies.
