  Does anyone know if there is a current effort to develop an “Eshop” type ecomerce solution for WP.com?

  I’m afraid e-commerce isn’t possible here at WordPress.com, and there are no plans to develop anything for that at this time.

  If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on e-commerce if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.
