WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers. You can, however, map an existing domain.
In order to remove the .wordpress.com URL and replace that with a domain URL you have to purchase an upgrade. See https://wordpress.com/pricing/
See: Map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog – if you already have a domain that you registered and purchased elsewhere. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL to the original content.
Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.
We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

You all could have confirmed that for me when I asked before opening an account. But your people literally refused to answer my questions until I opened an account. That’s just wrong and horrible customer service. You all need to be able to answer people’s questions without forcing them to open an account. Why would I want to pay twice, one company to host and to use wordpress? Thank you for the information, which from the LIMITED resources I had before opening the account with you all is what I suspected. But the only way to be absoulutely sure I was understanding it correctly was to open an account. That’s stupid.
