No, but I know that's the way it works.  This is because PayPal's system
can't combine shipping weights and then calculate shipping for the whole
order.  All you can do is pass the shipping for the first unit and for
subsequent units of the same model.

Wouter uses Javascript code that collects the whole order then passes it as
a single transaction to PayPal.  He was even nice enough to give me the
source code, but I haven't had time to learn Javascript and every time I
find someone that says they'll do this (for pay of course), there is always
some excuse why they never get it done.

Is there a student out there that is good with Javascript that would like to
make a few buck on the side?  I need something as described above, and it
also has to be well documented such that I can maintain it once you create
it.  I need to be able to add new products, adjust prices, etc, myself.
