Why are prices on cex.io/gatecoin/livecoin higher?

Per title. Is it because of withdrawal issues?

Because those exchanges exist to make money. And how do they make money? By buying coins for cheap and selling the coins for a higher price.

There are always price a little price differences in tokens due to trade volume of respective exchange platforms but prices  are occassionally updated.
Each exchange  also have difference in fee structure,  it is upto you on which exchange you would like to trade. Those which have high trading volume may be charging more fee but chances to get sales more faster than others

Every exchanger has different volumes and requests so it's natural that the price in each exchanger is different, and because of the difference in price in the exchanger there is also a search for the profit and this is called arbitrage.

You are right, but you are wrong at some point.
The price is determined by those who are buying/selling in there, each exchange has it's own rates, and it changes everytime that there are big whales selling or buying. And people is using "arbitrage" in order to make profit from that.

Yes it always depends in how many people are buying in same exchanges if there are lots of buyers in the same exchanges expect that the price of the coin could be increase and lots of sellers in the other exchanges had lots of sellers the price would be decrease..
this is not because of volume if there are lots of traders in the same coins the volume increases but if the buy and sell is balanced the price still the same. So its a basic rule of demand and supply.. that is why other smart trader are buying to other exchanges and sell them in other exchanges just to get more profit because you sell your coins in other exchanges which is more higher sell value than the other exchanges..

You're also right at some point. But we're talking about cex.io here. User's cant choose their buy and sell price on cex.io, as it doesn't work the same way with other exchanges like Bitfinex, Binance, Bittrex, etc. The buy and sell prices are set by cex.io themselves:
