  Did you make the items yourself? No reselling anything made by anyone else is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for ecommerce transactions and no blogger initiated advertising or paid or sponsored content is allowed. The only things you can sell on WP.com blogs are products that you, yourself create and/or services that you personally provide. For an online store with a shopping cart you need an independently hosted blog using WordPress.ORG software.

  For selling your own creations on a free hosted WordPress.com blog see http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  If and only if you are marketing only what you create and have a online shop with a shopping cart somewhere else online you can create a custom menu and add a custom link to it.

  So let me see if I’ve got this straight…

  We can sell things through a WordPress.com blog IF the items being sold are made by us and only us by using Paypal buttons?

  That is correct.
