  Hi,

  The only themes available for WordPress.com are the ones listed here http://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you don’t find your theme there, it is not supported on WordPress.com (that means the theme is for a self-hosted WordPress blog which you can get at WordPress.org). You can’t upload your own themes on WordPress.com.
  See more info about that here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/

  To find out more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, see http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hope that helps!

  Thanks, but its annoying that they call the themes wordpress on themeforest, if they can only be used on wordpress.org!

  Hi,

  Themeforest does have their own support at
  http://support.envato.com/ so if you have any suggestions or questions about Themeforest, you can post it there.
  You can also open a Themeforest ticket here: https://support.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

  For WordPress.com, as far as eCommerce, this is what is available: http://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

  Depending on what exactly you want to do for your website, it might be worth looking into WordPress.org as well if you want themes or plugins that add custom functionality. In which case, you would be able to use the theme that you bought from Themeforest.

  Hope that helps!
