  Can I add a PayPal button on either the free or basic blog sites in order to sell a product?

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

  Yes, provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide you have two options.
  (1) Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  (2) If you set up an Ecommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  Some bloggers create a contact form and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.
