Hi @sybpress!
E-commerce options have been removed here at WordPress.com. Secure payment systems are not available here at wordpress.com so you will need a wordpress.ORG install.
As long as you are selling only what you yourself make or a providing service that you personally provide on a wordpress.com site, or you are asking for donations you do have a few options.
A. PayPal – Please note that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here : http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ . Also, the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229. This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all.
B. If you have a site somewhere else you can create a custom menu : http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it : http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links
If this does not work for you this guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform where you can set up a secure payment system : http://move.wordpress.com. Good luck!
