How do you know they're acting as a buyer and not just creating a sell order on GDAX?

Because they just bought it from you at that guaranteed price. They could go and sell it on the market for more/less, but the price you sold it to CB for remains the same.
That price changes dynamically at some interval, and is discounted against the trading market value, correct?
They do update that price frequently (minutes, maybe seconds) and there is a premium added to the price. I assume they add this premium so they can then go liquidate it for profit on the exchange as needed.
That doesn't sound to you like they're just selling it on gdax?
They can do whatever they want with it after they have sold it to me for a fixed price.
Heh, I'm not sure why you think its a fixed price. They're probably showing you the lowest sell order on the order book.
