  Hi there,

  Am I able to create an online store with my wordpress.com account? If so, how? Thanks!

  In most cases, WP.com is not suitable for e-commerce. For one thing, selling things OTHER than things you, yourself, create is normally against the terms of service and will get your blog deleted.

  Before you put too much work into it here, only to get your blog suspended, I’ll recommend you look at WP.org if you’re going to be a reseller. If you’re an artist or author, etc, however, you can sell your output here. You can’t add ecarts etc, and you can’t use Paypal’s Buy It Now button. It’s restricted, for security reasons.

  Would it change it if I was an authorized seller of the product?

  I am interested in upgrading to a .org account, but I don’t know where to begin. Is it an easy upgrade?
