I'm curious on a legal aspect: Do you check with the website owners before posting?

No. I'm just going on the assumption that everyone would like to see traffic to their site, and I make it clear in the footer that all screenshots are the copyright of their owners.

In its history (since 2009) I've had one take down request, from a photographer who was tired of having his work ripped off so wanted to keep a low profile.

That's awesome. I was thinking to build a similar site focusing on purely on eCommerce and was worried about legal aspects of this.
You should go for it. Especially because finding good examples of ecomm done well is hard, so there's definitely a niche.
