How Do Barnes and Noble Pre-Orders Work?

I just pre ordered a book for 24.11. It doesn't come out until November 4th, and at the bottom of the pre-order page it says:

"ORDER TOTAL: $24.11
Your credit card will be charged* $24.11
* Your credit card will be charged when your order ships."

But my account has already been charged the 24.11…
So I'm confused why it says I will be charged when my order ships, because it's a pre order so my book couldn't have possibly shipped yet, but I was still charged right now.
I just want someone who's pre-ordered from Barnes and Noble to explain how exactly this works, and if I have to worry about paying more money past what has already been removed from my account.
