Scammed on Crypto Market through escrow

background: I recently bought some stuff on Crypto Market after hearing about some recent warnings not to use Alpha Bay. I bought a couple items from Buldogmafia on escrow, but later received a message from him demanding that since I was a new user on CM, I finalize early within 7 hours of him sending the message or that he'd cancel my order. He sent the message at 2am, so of course I didn't see the message within 7 hours and he cancelled the order. This wouldn't have been a huge deal, but somehow the money that was in escrow failed to return to my account. I waited a week to see if it was just delayed, but after not seeing anything come back, I messaged a mod and an admin on CM asking about it. They replied after a week and a half saying, "oh, [the btc] should have been returned automatically. What's your wallet ID?" I replied to those messages and haven't heard from them since. It's been 6 weeks now and I have yet to see my btc returned to my account.

A few things could have happened here:

tl;dr Crypto Market is broken or a scam. Avoid at all costs.

This type of shit is the main reason I withdrew all my listings from cryptomarket, because the escrow didn't work correctly/was stolen, messaging system was abysmal, and whole site looks like it was made using geocities (for all those that remember it)
