I have stopped sharpening my images from page three onwards but the one on the right looks sharpened.

Or is it a different engine that each agency have that makes the same image looks different?

Nobody "edits" our submitted images, but it is possible that different agencies show the preview thumbs differently. DT, for example, seems to brighten them.

Not a whole lot you can do about it.

Some years ago one owner of small agency - not sure they still exist, did editing of one of my files, one of best seller here. After some time he stated that my image is claimed by somebody as own work. I requested to provide details, but he stopped communication then. I deleted all files there, no regret. Such agency is not trustable.
No matter how image looks like. They have no right to edit and sell edited. Or they accept image or not, that is.
Thumbs are processed by different code, so apprearance can be of course a little bit different. This is not editing of original file.
