  The upgrade sold by WordPress.com can only be used on free blogs from and hosted by WordPress.com, and not on any other sites. If you have not registered a blog yet you will have to or the link will not be active. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ More to the point until you do that you won’t have an underlying .wordpress.com blog to domain map from to a domain.

  See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and purchase upgrades at > Store > My Upgrades
  Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
  Your options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  Note that the free plan and the Premium plan do not allow you to upload your own themes or plugins. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions unless they have the Business upgrade. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ecommerce-is-now-available-on-wordpresscom?replies=1

  If you need a site that requires a custom theme or plugins — e.g., if you want to be able to sell things directly from your site, or if you want to install discussion forums — a self-hosted WordPress site might be right for you. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hey there! Seems like you followed timethief’s advice about signing up for a blog and purchasing the upgrade. Let me know if you have any questions about it at all. Thanks!
