Our free hosted WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, plugins and third party themes are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate. if you require plugins, a shopping cart, etc. then you must hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. http://wordpress.org/ Then you can move your content from the free hosted WordPress.com blog into the WordPress.org install. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
Provided you are referring only to products you personally create or any service you personally provide you can post a PayPal button and/or use a contact form on your blog.

Note set a shopping cart up somewhere else online you can create a custom menu and place a custom link to it in the custom menu.
Create a custom menu on your free hosted WordPress.com blog.

Add the custom link for your website to it. -
Actually, if you’re the author you can use the Paypal Buy It Now button, apparently, but only following the Paypal instructions TT linked to. But you will need a merchant account, not just a personal account, at Paypal.
