  I am trying to upload a custom theme purchased externally.

  That’s not an option WordPress.com provides. Here at WordPress.com, you must use the themes we have reviewed, checked, updated and that we maintain. There are 250 themes available at WordPress.com right now, and we’re constantly adding new ones!

  However, I know from other threads you’ve posted that you’re switching to Bluehost. If you pay monthly hosting fees at a place like Bluehost, then you can manage all the software yourself and install any plugins and themes you want. To get support for a setup like that, you will need to try Bluehost or use the volunteer-based forums at http://wordpress.org/support/
