This have troubled me as well. It is in a sense ''safe'', but it is a dubious place, and a dubious merchant for good guys to traffic with; same for myriad neutrals out there. You can make only so many excuses to throw money around in either place.

Good/neutrals should be able to get their Wisp Bottles from elsewhere, than from current two locations that are generally Not Okay. A location such as Radiant Heart would not raise many brows, considering already available services rendered there.
Taking this in perspective...

You are literally bottling and containing a Whisp, a fully sentient creature, specifically for use as a magical messenger pidgeon.

Its something that isn't inherently good, and thus, its location within the game and its price are rather justified from an ethical standpoint.
Where does it say this? Is the bottle alignment restricted? Last I checked, the description of the bottle is this:

Nowhere does it say you are keeping a chaotic evil undead creature (will-o-wisp) in a bottle, nor does any NPC anywhere say this (to my knowledge), nor would a will-o-wisp be able to convey any message. They are not sentient and are creatures of instinct. It could be called Wisp bottle because it produces something that looks like a will-o-wisp.

This reminds me, I need to update the item's description with a more appropriate one.
And no, wisp bottles are not only usable by evil characters only, that was never our intention.
