I don't see any of this being the escrow's fault unless the deal was that OgNasty has to see the tracking ID personally and verify that the goods have been shipped to the correct destination. Was that the case here? If you and OgNasty didn't agree for him to verify the tracking ID, it's not his responsibility to do that.

You could have made this deal safer yourself. Some people already mentioned how.
Since you have two accounts on Bitcointalk, the deal could also have included that confirmation to release funds needs to come from both accounts. Or the forum account + any other type of confirmation like Telegram, social media, Skype, etc.
