  Hiya Bernie!

  Themes can’t be uploaded to sites hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  We offer over 300 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

  http://wordpress.com/themes

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-use-the-themes-forum

  If you choose to stay at WordPress.com, you might just explain the confusion to the theme’s developer, and ask for a refund since you made the purchase without knowing it was for a self-hosted site only!

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
