eBay telling buyers amount of minimum offers

[collectablecuriostogo]

Question:  Why is eBay now telling buyers what our offer limits are when they clearly state that buyers won't know?  

eBay states on it's page Adding best offer... Automatic responses... " If you set up automatic responses in your listing, we can accept or decline a Best Offer for you, based on the price limits you select. Buyers won't know your limits,".... (bold and italics added) 

BUT yesterday a buyer contacted me about a message received from eBay that shows the eBay is now telling buyers what the minimum amount is.  WHY?

You would need to ask eBay if you want an eBay answer

Thanks - I did ask eBay and was given the reason it was because of a reject offer. I now will be changing my limits, and let this be a warning to other users.

Doesn't affect me. I know what my items are worth and have MAO on 2 of over 2000
