Add an 'Admin Shop' feature

[mythwriter]

I'm currently working on a fork to try and add this in for my test world, but I think this could be a potentially useful use-case.

Similar to Unlimited, Admin Shop would trigger payments to/from a non-existent entity (i.e. the server/merchant account), but the stock is still dependent on what is in the chest. For instance, a server iron farm whose supply is limited by how quickly the farm is producing (scarcity stock, but without a direct financial benefactor). A bit of a niche case, but I feel it could be useful as a counterpoint to an unlimited supply.

I feel like this could already be accomplished using the /qs setowner command with a server account that could be a player profile. As an example I have the ownership of Server_Account for servers to utilize as a server account without security risks, because it's a paid minecraft account. https://namemc.com/profile/Server_Account.2

You may enter square brackets around the game name, such as [YuanYuanOwO], to designate a virtual account rather than a genuine one.
/qs setowner [YuanYuanOwO]

I was unaware that you could designate virtual accounts. I will attempt that and get back to you. Thank you!

When attempting the virtual account, it continues to provide the same error I've been trying to work around:

[11:21:15 INFO]: Issued server command: /qs setowner [Server_Account]
[11:21:19 WARN]: [QuickShop-Hikari] Failure - getBalance - Server_Account - CraftWorld{name=world} - null
[11:21:19 WARN]: [QuickShop-Hikari] QuickShop received an error when processing Economy response, THIS NOT A QUICKSHOP FAULT, you might need ask help with your Economy Provider plugin (TheosisEconomy) author.
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "me.Short.TheosisEconomy.PlayerAccount.getBalance()" because the return value of "java.util.Map.get(Object)" is null

I'm trying to avoid EssentialsX because it has way more features than I'm looking for. I guess I may look into TheosisEconomy's code to see if there's a way to allow for virtual accounts, but I am unsure.

Yeah, unfortunately as it states this isn't a QS error, it's an issue with your economy plugin not support virtual accounts properly.

Thanks for the help and feedback :)
