How do put a watermark on images posted on internet sites ?
I noticed that watermarks are superimposed on some images posted in internet selling sites like eBay and other commercial sites.
I want to put watermark on images that I upload so that people will be discouraged from downloading and using the image posted.
Thank you. Have a nice day !

Many sites allow you to upload an image which they will superimpose on your photos; if you don't want to do this, make a layer in your editing program, place on that layer the text/image that you want to use as your copyright and set the transparency to an appropriate level.
Save this as a new file before flattening the layers or you won't be able to remover the watermark from files you sell or print. You can do this with a batch of photos in Photoshop (an action) or PaintshopPro.
There are also programs like "Sign My Image" to do the same thing without a high-end editor installed; and you can also apply digital (invisible) watermarks to prove your ownership of a disputed image, as well as web sites where you can register your photos for a similar protection.
