Problem with postage on multiple copies of same item

[fuzzyjonclay]

Hi there,

I run a record label which accepts payments via Paypal. If someone purchases 2 different items, then the sub-total adds the postage for the 2 items together (which is fine!). However, if someone buys 2 or more copies of the same item, then Paypal will not calculate multiple postage.

So basically, if someone buys item a + item b, the sub total will be item a + item b + postage a + postage b. However, if someone buys 2 x item a, the sub total will be 2 x item a + 1 x postage a.

I have pasted my source code below.

Many thanks for your help!

Best wishes

Jon
