Hi there,
For a comprehensive list of all the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, please click here.
In a nutshell, WordPress.com is stream-lined, simple, and hosts your website for you in a no-nonsense way.In their own words, WordPress.COM lets you “focus on your beautiful content, and let us handle the rest.” It provides your URL, your hosting, security, and pretty much everything you need to get your blog or website up and running within minutes!
Unfortunately, for the time being, it appears that e-commerce options on WordPress.com are not available; while users had the option in the past, there were some issues with some of the plug-ins, and WordPress.com took them down as to continue working on them so that they will be up to their impeccable standards. =)
Per a WordPress.com staff member at this thread, this will likely not be a permanent issue, but there is no current time-table for when e-commerce options will become available.
Meanwhile, WordPress.ORG is all about getting your “hands dirty” and is a bit more complicated–you host your website yourself, provide security and back-ups, and utilize codes and plug-ins to build your own website. You can find plug-ins through WordPress.org, but you will have to find your own web builder, host, etc.
I hope that answers your question! Have a wonderful day.
