    Hi there,
    Please read this comparison > http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ and note that no free hosted WordPress.COM blogs can be equipped with shopping carts for eCommerce transactions. See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles

    Note that none of the plans allow you to run advertising or to upload your own themes or plugins. If you need a site that requires a custom theme or plugins for eCommerce — e.g., if you want to be able to sell things directly from your site using a shopping cart, or if you want to install discussion forums — a self-hosted WordPress site might be right for you.

    WordPress.org http://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 and equip the blog for ecommerce.

    NOTE: The only products and/or services you are allowed to sell on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs are those you personally create and provide. If you have an Esty account for example or any other site that has a shopping cart for your own merchandise sales then you can create a custom menu and include a custom link to it in the custom menu.
