Therefore it's only possible to map an existing domain to your WordPress.com blog or register a new (.com .net .org or .me) domain.

I added a new DNS Zone record for your domain. This change may take a little while to be fully effective. Could you give it some time then try updating the name servers again?

You can go to Store > Domains on your blog's dashboard and follow the steps there.

Please take a look at the following guide before going through the process.

Let us know if you need any help.

Though, it doesn't let me do it with the Paypal code. I am using the free version of WordPress. Do I need to pay and upgrade to insert a "buy now" button? As well, why can't I do any of the plug ins?

You can delete the old address from the old account on the Dashboard Tools page, but this is permanent and irreversible.

Regardless which WordPress.com blog you buy the domain from, you must ALWAYS start with some whatever.wordpress.com URL and then put a custom domain on that.

An alternative would be free downloadable PDF's and I would like help with how to set that up?

You can upload PDFs to your Media library, then email a link to those who 'Donate" so they can download them.

I did check originally, and provided that readers choose to donate after acquisition rather than payment being conditional it was OK. A self hosted site just for this one aspect seems OTT but it may have to be the way it develops (if i ever get a reader!)

As for selling your book, you can usually link to another site via which you're selling the book (ie, Amazon or Lulu.com), but you're not allowed to put a shopping basket on your webpage or blog here on WordPress.com

I noticed that you put a donate button on your contact page. In my opinion (and you'll need to check with Paypal on this) that's the wrong use of a donate button, and you could be penalised by Paypal for it.

It would probably be better for you to self-host your blog and then you can have a shopping cart and 'buy' button, etc.

I was only intending to sell my own books

If you have actually written/authored them, you should be OK as far as WP policy, but as noted in one of the other threads, there is a debate over whether using the Donate button to sell is within PayPal policy or not.
