Thanks,

If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on e-commerce if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

Please see this link to learn about the differences:

My Dad is painting and making great sculptures, but he has never agreed to do any exhibitions or try to sell it. We (his sons) think he should, because it is so good (and he could also use the money). Now it seems he finally might let us help him to show it, and maybe sell some, online. I would like to help him set up a wp blog, but I wonder: what is allowed, and not? Would he be allowed to show his art on the blog with prices attached, thereby selling it through the blog? And what about PayPal? Or is there an other way you can recommend?

All the best
