Can Regular Players Build Vending Machines?
The Term "Player Owned Vending Machines" is quite confusing as I have found no way to create a vending machine as a Regular Player

they can't because these machines have many settings you can't possibly expect a regular user to correctly set and this would introduce polluted variables into the economy, like wrong currencies being used or them deciding to convert funds from one currency to the other while payment is done, or for example them giving themselves a fresh batch of taxes on top.

the term "player owned" is absolutely correct because they can own them (once an admin built and configured the machine) and then move stuff into / out of them, set prices and collect the revenue of sales other players make. it does not say "player constructed" vending machines.

In my server, I have a player build the containers they want in their shop, then ask an admin to convert them to a shop under the players name. At this point the player can set any prices of items they add.

i belive i found a work around sir.

i did as you wrote, and picked an in game container, and made the admin an owner. got a new "right click option" on it, and items inside of the chest, the admin could now set the price ( or the OWNER of the chest / shop)

i have been trying eith the "Place moveble objeckts " and making a shop that way, and trying to find out how the admin can set price on the VEH shop, and the global shop.. but i would like to say, tnx alot for the comment @Fallen seraph, it did help alot. and got some progress started =)

Right click on the container then go to the "Containers" option and choose the option to "Mark as vending machine."

After that you right click on the new vending machine and you can firmware update. Which will open a menu where you set the owner and currency streams. The owner can then add and set the prices of items in that container.
