  If I am selling items from my own online shop on my own domain, can I write a blog about the product in WordPress.com (in my own words) and paste the link to shop item for purchasing through paypal?
  (if that makes sense)
  Thanks in advance.

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

  E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by WordPress.com. You can post a contact form and you can post a PayPal button only for the sale of items that yourself and not one else creates.

  And you can post about things you are selling. Do you make these items? Then write about the process. Are you a professional real estate agent? then post about the services you provide. A lawyer? then again, post about your special services. A carpenter, gardener, plumber, electrician? You can write about what you do for your clients. Do you have a local store? Post about your products (remember to include the city where you are). Do you have a restaurant? Tell people about your menu and how the foods are prepared.
