Need an auction plugin – how to work it with a .com wordpress site
-
I want to add an auction plugin to my charitable fundraising page (www.theperfectpair2017.wordpress.com) but don’t think I can because it’s a .com site. What type of site do I need to get so that I can do a link from the above page to the new one so that I can put an auction up live for just a couple of months please? I don’t mind paying a small amount as I think it will be worth it…..
Any help gratefully received…thanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.com sites have some built in plugins but the one you want it not among them http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
If you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, advertising, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by wordpress.com
For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

https://move.wordpress.com/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

So if I buy a .org domain can I just put a page link from my .com site and have the auction on the .org site?
Sorry I’m not very techie at all

No. Auction sites are not allowed. For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service. See: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress
