  You don’t have a plugin tab on your dashboard because you can’t have plugins on a wordpress.com blog. Also you’re not allowed to have eCommerce here. Please read this:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no FTP access to WordPress.com free hosted blogs. We bloggers cannot install any plugins. Those are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no upgrade that you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access , the ability to install plugins, third party themes and software into free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
