Magento 2 Advanced pricing higher than base price - magento2

I have a site build where I need to set the product price to be higher than the base price when the customer group logs in. I am trying to do it using the advanced pricing tier but Magento 2 ignores prices that are higher than the base price.
Anyone know a way around this?

its pretty lame but in Magento 2 you can only have tier pricing lower than the base product price. If you set it higher it will show the lowest price available which is the default.

Aimeos: Minimum amount for small products

for small or cheap products a customer should often order only a larger amount of pieces. In this spirit, Magento shop offers the possibility for administrators or editors to specify the minimum amount of pieces specifically for every product.
In aimeos I have only found so far the possibilty to specify a global minimum amount for pieces in the basket which does not distinguish between the products.
For my project it is a mandatory feature to specify the minimum amount of pieces specifically for every single product. Have I overlooked something in aimeos? What is the best way to achieve this feature?
Many thanks in advance!
TYPO3 7.6.13, Aimeos web shop 16.10.1, PHP version 5.6.24-0+deb8u1, Linux
In Aimeos, you can configure global values for the complete basket and for every product using the ProductLimit basket plugin. For more information, have a look at the Aimeos forum topic

Difference between splitting targeting over several ad groups and keeping whole targeting in one ad group

I will give small example to explain my question: If we have Facebook ad campaign that needs to target Germany and France, would there be any performance difference if we use one ad group with targeting (Germany, France), or we create two adgroups in this campaign where one would target (Germany) and other would target (France) (same ad image and ad creative settings)?
Kind regards,
Nikola
You generally split targeting for two main reasons.
1. Controlling Budget
Segmenting targeting across geographical areas can allow you to control your budget at a more granular level. For example, if you want to spend 30% of your budget on France and 70% on Germany, splitting the targeting will allow you to achieve this by using multiple campaigns.
2. Understanding Performance
Segmenting the target also gives you greatr insight into which of your targets are performing the best. For example, if you split your target by age, gender and region, you may identify that shoes sell well to men in France between the ages of 25-30 etc.
Be careful to ensure your use of this data complies with Facebook's policy however: https://www.facebook.com/ad_guidelines.php
Over-segmentation
Facebook's algorithms work best when there is a large population within the target. Over segmenting your campaign could result in the overall performance being weaker.

PayPal shipping prices for different countries

I am setting up an online store using PayPal.
My issue is that I can only choose a fixed price for shipping (og percentage based which isn't relevant)
I am based in Europe, so shipping one item to europe or one item to the US is a huge difference, but I can't find a way to differentiate between them.
I'm aware that this is on the verge of being non-code related, but I'm thinking that there might be a way around this using an api or something along those line?
You could calculate the shipping on your side, and pass that shipping about over to PayPal as the amount to charge for shipping. There are several different ways to do this, some of which would depend on how you are currently integrated with PayPal.

Different price for different countries

I saw there are apps that have a different price on different iTunes stores (according to location). How do they do that? I didn't see any place in iTunes Connect that enables that.
You can't have different price for different country.
The only thing is when you choose a tier, it is not the same value according to the country currency.
e.g. : tier 1 = $.99 (US) = .79€ (Europe) = 230 Yens (Japan)
If you really want to have different prices, you must have the same app multiple times.
e.g. :
Application 1 : only distributed on US country (at any tier)
Application 1 bis : distributed on other country than US (at any other tier)
Application 1 and Application 1 bis is exactly the same application, but with a little difference, e.g. language (if you do not localize your app)
It is possible now! Now you can set different prices based on territories for the same IAP package.

Meanwhile, there is an SDK (Mage) available, which is also working for consumables and non-consumables (unlike with iTunes Connect where it only works with subscriptions). Additionally, they automatically take care of optimizing prices according to the markets. You can find the documentation in the repository (there is an android as well as react-native SDK available too).
If you are using the option in iTunes Connect to change subscription prices according to locations be aware, that:
If you reduce your prices: all existing customers will also profit from that immediately.
If you increase your prices: all existing customers will be warned and get the opportunity to cancel.
For full disclosure, I'm one of the Co-Founders. We faced the same problems like you multiple times. This is why we created Mage.
Release them as separate apps, then set the target countries so they do not overlap.

How can I use Tier Pricing with Configurable Products? (Magento 1.4+)

How can I use/setup Tier Pricing with Configurable Products? (Magento 1.4+)
There was an extension to do this but I think it is only for Magento 1.3.
Tried to setup tiers in my Simple Products, but those do not show up, or do not activate when I add to cart from my Config Product page.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.
Edit:
In my case, I would like to use the Tier Pricing FROM the Simple Product. and not use the Tier Pricing from the Config. Product
Configurable products do not use any of the information from simple products apart from the attribute values on which the configurable product is pivoted. That means that Descriptions, Prices, Images and other data can be changed in the simple products, and the configurable products will not be changed whatsoever.
Unfortunately, hacking the price of a product in the Magento cart is difficult, as it is refreshed from the record every time the page is loaded, so what you're trying to accomplish isn't going to happen any time soon.
Your best bet might be to write a short script that will grab the simple product prices and update the configurable product record periodically. This would not need to hack through the Magento logic to work.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Joe
For anyone reading this, use this free extension:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Matt+Dean/extension/596/simple-configurable-products#overview
It will take the pricing from the simple product the only downside is you manually have to come up with a way to show the tiers on the configurable product page.
I know this is an old thread, but I just came across this myself. I am on Magento CE 1.6 and the extension recommended here was only up to 1.5.
I found that Grouped products do exactly that - they pull pricing (as well as tiered pricing) from the simple product. They are very easy to set up and work as expected.
I know this is an old thread, but following up to say that the Simple Configurable Products extension works great at updating the price in a simple manner.
Having one problem however. I only have a product image assigned to my configurable product, not the simple ones linked to it. When I add a product to my cart with this extension it adds the simple product, which means there is no product image. Is there a way to display the parent photo in cart? Totally find editing code if that will get it working.
I found a simple workaround for this, i have a configurable product with 3 options, e put this three options visible only for catalog and then assign this simple products to a categorie named tier prices, so, customer who want quantity discount just have to browse that category and found there all the available products.
Hope this help!!
