Don't buy it again while it says pending, that's how people end up charged twice. Pending just means Steam hasn't had confirmation from your bank or PayPal yet. Some payment methods take a day or more to clear. If you've changed your mind, go to Steam support, open your purchase history, pick the pending one and there's an option to cancel the transaction. Once it's cancelled the hold on your card drops off on its own.
