Theme Customization
-
Hello!
I’m working with the content creators on this website, and did not realize at first outset that the site was bought through and hosted by WordPress. We have bought a theme, named Kopy, from the Envato Market that we’d like to use on our website. If there is a way to import this, we have not been able to find it. (since we don’t have an FTP to upload to for this blog) Please let us know at your earliest convenience what we can do to possibly use this, and we appreciate any of your feedback!

That feature does not exist on WordPress.COM sites. You are confusing WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG. We cannot use any third party themes on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.See:

https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/There is no upgrade you can purchase here at WordPress.COM that changes that reality.
To install plugins or third party themes into a site then you have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
