You could detect when the item is brought and if its new owner is a non-hero then remove it and refund the player (and the charge in the shop).

Usualy only heroes can bought items, unless those units have the stash ability in their inventory, anyway you can disable that in the object editor (Shop) and change his ability to select unit

Normal units (if un-edited) have "Unit Inventory (Race)", it just has to be researched at the main hall for your race. If you want to make it really easy just remove the units ability to have an inventory.

Here is how to refund your item and remove it. You'll have to store the item-type's into an array variable, and store the item's cost into an integer variable. And last make an integer variable, then set it to how many items you have stored.
NOTE: Make sure both arrays have the same number for a single item, like the trigger below.

Store Items

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Stored_Item[1] = Potion of Mana
    • Set Item_Cost[1] = 200
    • Set Stored_Item[2] = Potion of Healing
    • Set Item_Cost[2] = 150
    • Set Stored_Item[3] = Orb of Fire
    • Set Item_Cost[3] = 400
    • Set Stored_Item_Count = 3

This second trigger will remove the item from the unit and refund your gold. If you need it to take lumber just add that below the gold. This checks to see if the item it picked up is one of the stored item's you have already set, and if so, removes the item and refunds you.
