You have to have a custom domain on the blog and enough traffic for it to qualify for WordAds.
I’m sorry but we cannot help you. Please direct all WordAds questions to WordAds Staff at https://wordpress.com/help/contact as we do not provide WordAds support here.

Many folks have a delusional expectation of making much money from a blog. In fact, very few people make a significant income from advertising.
Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide you have two options.
(1) Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/(2) If you set up an Ecommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links
Some bloggers create a contact form and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.

http://en.wordpress.com/tos/1. WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.
2. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.
Please read the responses by myself and raincoaster in these two threads too. They cover all the income making possibilities: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/want-to-monetize-my-blog?replies=7#post-1800159
