I've just looked at the site. The first photograph I selected was 1072 x 366
and 127k, hardly a thumbnail. The second was 354 x 520 and 55k.

Maybe, but I doubt it.  The examples I've seen were both the size of a
matchbox
_and_ visibly watermarked.  Even without the watermark, it would have been
impossible to use them for anything worthwhile, so why bother?  And they
were so
small that even without the watermark they could hardly be distinguished,
and
with it the actual content of the photo was almost invisible.

Personally, I'd never _buy_ an image that I could not see clearly to begin
with.
