  I know there is no shopping cart support, but is it allowable to show a list of items with prices & a contact form if I upgrade?
  One of my suppliers provides an online selection guide, (batteries) would I be allowed to install this feature?
  Thank you,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It is allowed even without the upgrade IF it’s something you yourself produce. Since it is not, I’ll have to flag this for staff to rule on.

  That’s similar to e-commerce. If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on e-commerce if you set up a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested.

  I was afraid you’d tell me that. But the wordpress.com dashboard is so much easier to use than your typical c-panel setup used by self hosted blogs, and lets face it word ads is the best ad deal I have seen yet, so I really hate to give that up. I just mainly have some antique & vintage motorcycle parts lying around that I wanted to sell. Guess I need to think long and hard about this for a few more weeks before I make a move.

  I hear you. You might want to consider to sell your products at Etsy instead.
