Hey there,
Custom themes can only be uploaded on WordPress.com if you have the Business Plan Upgrade:
https://wordpress.com/business/
They are usually used for WordPress.org installs which run on different software.
If you do not want to go with the Business Plan but want to stay with WordPress.com, the good news is that WordPress.com has hundreds of available themes that you can activate (many for free), and they are found under Appearance > Themes
You can find out more about them here:http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.
Cheers,

Hi –
No worries. I’ll try to help you through that confusion. There’s actually 2 different versions of WordPress.
Here, at WordPress.com, we offer a managed hosting environment. All of our themes come from the showcase at https://wordpress.com/themes/ If you’d like to upload a custom or third party option (which is what you have described) then the business plan is required. That will give the site the necessary infrastructure for using such a theme file. https://wordpress.com/pricing/
The other version of WordPress is the open source WordPress.org software. With that option you can upload the theme you’ve bought for free. However, this version of WordPress is much more hands on and you will need to find and pay for hosting.
Differences are outlined on this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Additionally, this is the “getting started” materials for both versions.
WordPress.com: https://learn.wordpress.com/
WordPress.org: https://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPressThis should help give you an idea of which version of WordPress is best for your project and experience level. Please continue to write back with more questions.
