  Hi Mark,

  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  We offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you want to continue using WordPress.com, please see if you can get a refund for the theme you purchased.

  I’m so sorry for the inconvenience and confusion!
