  You can only use the themes available in the dashboard on WordPress.com. You cannot install your own themes. You may find that the same theme or a similar one is available, and you should be able to get a refund for the purchased theme.

  For more info on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org read WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  You would have to set up a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which you would have to pay a hosting company for and be responsible for installing and maintaining security patches yourself.

  If you just want a WordPress.com blog you’d be better off asking for a refund. generally when people buy by mistake there is no problem with this.

  Me – nothing. I’m just a fellow blogger on the support forums.

  If you look at Dashboard->Appearance->Themes you can see that WordPress.com can offer you many themes, some free and some premium (i.e. to pay for). You might even find that the one you have purchased is available there too.

  All the themes that are already on your dashboard Themes page. Most of them are free. There are 30 or so that cost money.

  These are WordPress’s recommended hosts. I can’t tell you anything about how good they are. If you want to know more about installing, maintaining, and administrating a .org site you will need to go to the WordPress.org support forums and ask people who are doing it.

  BTW I am surprised that you cannot get a refund – people who have not realised that themes cannot be used on WordPress.com have had no problem in getting a refund. In some countries you have a cooling off period where they have to refund by law.
