  Howdy,

  Uploading themes and plugins isn’t supported here at WordPress.com. Those are special features, available when you maintain and host your site elsewhere, using the downloadable WordPress software.

  Learn more about the two flavors of WordPress here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The good news is that much of what folks want to accomplish is possible at WordPress.com anyway. Let me know what exactly you want to do, and I can help!

  We offer many customization options already! :)

  If I buy the theme Radiate with you, is it the same as the Radiate for .org? What is the difference?

  I’d recommend you have a look at the theme page to decide:
  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/radiate/

  Typically there are few if any differences, but you’ll have 30 days to request a refund if it doesn’t work for your needs. :)
