Of course, it is what it is... they offer to include a compatible charger but they don't warrant that it'll be a 1200mA Nokia AC-10X, the photo shows a UK keyboard, but the listing doesn't guarantee that it's a UK model. Yo also have no guarantee you won't get hit for customs charges and VAT on it, as it's a commercial purchase from abroad, worth over £18.
Whether it's "worth it" is subjective, I bought my first N900 from Vodafone on contract, and my spare one, second hand, from someone else who'd done the same. I personally only regard the hassle of importing as worth it for items that are small enough to drop through the letter box, cheap enough that they legally don't attract VAT and duty (that means below £18, in the UK). and inconsequential enough that if it screws up I'll chalk it up to experience rather than expect to send the item back.
But, you've bought it, and you've bought it at a good price for what it claims to be. If if turns out not to be, well that's a risk that you've chosen to take.
