  The only themes that can be used on WordPress.com are the ones listed here: http://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you purchased a theme from elsewhere, you won’t be able to instal it on a WordPress.com site.

  There are also a few other differences between sites hosted on WordPress.com and WordPress sites hosted elsewhere. Here’s a quick rundown: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you decide you want to remain on WordPress.com you should be able to get a refund for the theme you purchased. If you decide you want to move to a self hosted site, you can export any content you created on your WordPress.com site by following the instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  Let me know if any of that was confusing, or if you have any follow up questions.
