  You can sell only products you personally create or services that you personally provide. Only Blogs with the Business Bundle upgrade can equip their blogs for ecommerce.

  If you do not have that upgrade you can post a PayPal button http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  If you have a shopping cart set up for your own products or services elsewhere online you can create a custom menu and include a custom link to it in the menu.

  You can also do LIMITED affiliate blogging, but no ads in the sidebar.

  Good catch! Thanks

  Please read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.

  WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.

  Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.
