  Short selling on GDAX can be done by placing a 'sell' order for a cryptocurrency that you don't currently own. GDAX allows you to borrow the cryptocurrency from other users on the platform and sell it at the current market price. If the price of the cryptocurrency goes down, you can buy it back at a lower price and return it to the lender, making a profit. However, if the price goes up, you will incur losses. It's important to keep in mind that short selling is a high-risk strategy and should only be undertaken by experienced traders.
