  Hello there,
  I have set up my blog, without much experience. My idea was to try set up my own website. I am now stuck and would like to know if I can take this to a commercial situation, whereby I can sell things from my site. ie; Setting up a shopping basket, using Paypal as third party for receiving payments. Assistance with marketing.

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

  E-commerce isn’t possible here at WordPress.com. If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on e-commerce if you set up a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested.

  Please let us know if you need any further assistance!
