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.
Have you ever bought/sold on CB? It is exactly that, a fixed price. It's the convenience you pay for to use CB. That price updates frequently, but whatever price you execute at is the price you pay/sell for.
