The seller gives all the information the name being an IDN clearly on the listing - no need for "buyers beware" as it is not misleading IMHO - people just need to read before they buy it!

Yes, The seller has mentioned that the name is an IDN, but the image in that listing does not contain the IDN specification, and looks like love.tv.
This alert is for those who do not know about IDNs.

The "spin" in the listing seems to be that it is a "typical" thing - and uniformed purchasers may not know any better (And the seller does not identify which letter is the non-western character, nor does the image accurately highlight that the "novelty" is the IDN, and not the "love.tv" portion.).

Yes exactly. It looks fishy.
Look at this IDN auction, where the seller has given enough information regarding the IDN domain name that he sells:

Yeah, but what if the purchaser is dressed in normal day clothes?
