  Hello there,
  I’m afraid not. You cannot have an online store on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. No reselling anything made by anyone else is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this.

  WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for ecommerce transactions with shopping carts 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.
  http://wordpress.org

  For selling only your own creations and/or only service you personally provide on a free hosted WordPress.com blog see http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  If and only if you are marketing only what you personally create and you already 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 lets see WP.org is the way to go… Someone else hosts?

  Who do you recommend at a low cost and lots of benefits. Here is one I googled null

  So what I am visualizing is taking the ecommerce partner https://shop.bouncefitnessna.com/product?cat=8 being dropped in to my site? wrong or right?

  WordPress.ORG has some hosts they pardner with in some way: http://wordpress.org/hosting/

  There are also a few hosts that take care of the WordPress software for you and provide technical support (sort of like WordPress.COM, except you can sell things and they mostly take care of the web site and you have support on call) – they do cost more, but some people find the cost worth while, I think WP Engine is one such host – I have no experience with them and there are several hosts that now fill the needs in that market
