Do I need to pay before I can test out my website and see if I will be able to create something I like? With Squarespace you can make an inactive website before you pay to see if you like it.

If what you are asking is anI have a trial upgrade then the answer is no. Trial upgrades were discontinued last year.
re: refunds and cancelling upgrades
WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers. The refund period for Domain Registrations and Renewals is 48 hours.WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and different.
Upgrades apply to sites; they do not apply to accounts. You need to register a wordpress.COM site first and then purchase the upgrade.
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. There are no discounts based on non-profit status or any discriminatory factors and invoices or purchase orders are not accepted. See here for payment methods https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/
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/

Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
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 > Dashboard> Store > My Upgrades

re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog
There is nothing wrong with your blog.
By default, the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post, not a page, the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
