  This could be caused if you have pasted the entire CSS stylesheet into the CSS edit window. What is best at wordpress.COM is that you put into the CSS edit window only the specific selectors, and the specific declarations you are adding or changing and make sure “add to existing…” is selected before saving.

  You are likely going to have to upload the image to your media library, get the URL of that image and then put the background into the CSS directly.

  body {
  background: url("URL_of_image") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
  }
