I've recently put my car up for sale on Autotrader and noticed that after I have uploaded my photo's, Autotrader add a watermark to the top left corner of each image stating "image property of Autotrader.co.uk"

I assume they must have some small print I've missed?!? :shrug:

A bit cheeky I reckon.

They should know better. Sounds like the kind of thing that Amateur Photographer might be interested in...
