Am I allowed to SELL from my blog?
-
Can I have a virtual yard sale of craft tools I am no longer using? Can I sell handmade greeting cards directly from my blog (no Etsy link)?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can sell only products you personally create and/or services you personally provide.
WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for ecommerce transactions and no blogger initiated advertising or paid or sponsored content is allowed. NO reselling anything made by anyone else is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
The only things you can sell on WP.com blogs are products that you, yourself create and/or services that you personally provide. For an online store with a shopping cart you need an independently hosted blog using WordPress.ORG software.

Blogs that violate our advertising policy or fall into one of the following categories are not allowed on WordPress.com:
Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
