If I get an offer for multiple of the same items will the shipping be multiplied by that amount?

Someone made an offer of 5 items of this thing. Shipping is $9 each. if I accept this offer with it be $9 x 5 added to the cost of the items.

Yes.  Unless you reduce the shipping fee for what's known as a "combined rate".  I'm surprised the buyer hasn't asked about your combined fee.  If you accept the buyer's offer, or he accepts your counter-offer, then you really ought to package them up and ship them for a more reasonable fee.  Otherwise the buyer is likely to express his 'appreciation' in your shipping DSR.  ...  But it's your funeral.;-)

Was this a Best Offer? Tricky because one of the rules of Best Offer is that shipping discounts are not included in the offer.

For example, I could offer $10 each on 10 items that you have priced at $20 plus $10 shipping, and the offer would be read as $100 price plus $100 shipping.

So your counter offer should either make it clear that there will be no shipping discount OR offer a further discount on the asking price to allow for the shipping. Which is wierd, but Best Offers are not commonly on quantities of products.

Oh and you can revise the invoice after the buyer has purchased but not paid, or refund him part of his payment to allow for a shipping discount.l
