  I would like to know if it is in the rules of wordpress if you can sell your own merchandise on ones own blog. I have an online store using shopsite starter and I was wondering if it is allowed by WordPress to paste an item for sale in a blog post. In my case it is a t-shirt. I already know how to do it I just want to make sure I am within the guidelines of WordPress.
  Thank you very much

  We do allow users to sell their own products (things they have created) on WordPress.com blogs. We do not have shopping cart features but you can include a PayPal link on your site.

  Thanks for getting back to me. Would that include T-shirts that has a print that I created? Like I said before I just want to make sure that I am within the guide lines of WordPress.

  If it’s your own work and you’re not just a reseller of third-party products, it should be fine.

  There’s a little trick to PayPal in that you need to use the email code rather than the website code.

  Our support document on PayPal walks you through the steps:
