Alphabay deposit scam?

Just made a deposit to my alphabay wallet and 13+ confirmations later nothing has shown up in there. I went to check the blockchain and noticed there were 5 other transactions that happened on the same deposit address. Im pretty sure the coins are gone.

EDIT: Coins finally arrived after 17 confirmations

Some people are saying that their deposits have shown up after some time but this really needs addressing my the staff - which they're not doing

Yea I just deposited coins 9 confirmations later it's still not on AB. I believe I just wasted $100.

Temporary maintenance, expected downtime 30 minutes

I'd like to make a suggestion:-

there seems to be an emerging consensus that you trust alphabay's wallets less than the vendors you trade with.

So don't use alphabay's wallets. bypass them. Put alphabay into probation mode until it sorts out its attitude and wallet problems.

It has listings and a messaging system. you have a bitcoin wallet. the vendor has one. No vendor on alphabay will object to you messaging him and saying "how much discount can i get if I pay you wallet to wallet?"

get his wallet address. Give him your shipping details. pay him. Your offsite order is always the one we process first, because we could kiss you for saving us all that "can i withdraw today?" shit.

Because alphabay are getting too interested in the vendor's 95% cut, they've taken their 5% cut for granted. Take something for granted, and you lose it.

After the 30min maintenance time, my deposit showed up. I was really worried. A lot of people reported the same problem on the market forums.
