Recently I found 10 pages of one of my image by google reverse search engine and i can't do anything about it. I know where the source is. 500px. never ever upload anything without watermarks. Sites that refuse to have watermarks by default and encourage sharing like 500px and crated should be avoided.

On 500px you can add a preview with your own watermark. Using a batch processor like Photoshop CS6 will add the watermark automatically. It just requires a moment to set up, but then it will run in the background when you are making a coffee. Once you have your batch of previews, you can upload them to 500px, and attached the full res images. Buyers will see the watermarked preview, but they will purchase the full res watermark free version.

You have to it yourself indeed, it's not ideal, and should be offered by the agency. I provided a workaround, it may be useful to some.

Yup I was naive not to put some watermarks. Unlike crated, 500px still offer some form of protection.. a bit troublesome though.
