minervasoloSince people appreciated the link to betterworldbooks, I figured you might like some more online shopping!
Ethical Shopping:
Ethiscore rates shops by environmental, animal welfare and human rights records. Good place to check out high street shops.
Better World Books does brilliant cheap and secdonhand books, but there's a bit of a skew towards kids' books, and the postage is charged per item. It's free if you're in the US, but outside of that it's a bit of a flinch.
The Literacy Store and other affliated charities are awesome. I got a stack of brilliant jewellery from them, a lot of which (as usual) I've now managed to lose.
Oxfam is one of the charities I give to monthly, though the Oxfam Bookshop gets quite a lot of my money too. You can get secondhand stuff in the online shop as well.
EthicsGirls sells ethical fashion, though I've not tried buying from them myself. I don't tend to buy clothes online often, but when it comes to eco-friendly stuff it's easier than trying to hunt them down and pay through the nose in town.
I don't know an ethical dvd/cd seller off the top of my head, but I quite like CD-WOW because it managed to get The Avengers boxset when everywhere else claimed it was long gone. It took three months to get here, but it did come.

*adds to Memories*
I'd uh be curious to know how well your transaction with BetterWorldBooks went. I see they've got the new Dresden File in stock - hard-cover, so not buying just yet, but once the paperback comes out, that'll be at least one title they're carrying that I'll want to buy.
