I can be a little tape happy. I try to recycle the bubble envelopes that I get from trades and from buying stuff on eBay, and sometimes I need to use some extra tape to reseal them, and then I use some tape to put the shipping label on, since I can't print to sticker at work (where I do my packing). But, I do leave the outside edge of the envelope flap untaped so that it can be opened by running a letter opener through that area, or a pair of scissors.
As to the tape on the top of the top loaders, I typically don't do that, but I can't say that I haven't reused cases that have been taped and are gooey to send cards out to people. I have been going through so many card cases recently that I'd rather get the card sent out so that I don't make the other person wait 3 or 4 extra days before I can get more cases. Haven't had any complaints about that yet, so I guess I haven't ruffled any feathers doing that (though, it's only been 2 or 3 times that I've actually done that out of 30+ trades in the past 4 months).
I've gotten a couple that were super taped, but it doesn't bother me. I can always cut the end of the envelope off and just slide them out. I'm still like a kid getting presents for Christmas when I get stuff! LOL, now that I think about it, my dad always did do stuff like put 1000 feet of tape on gifts, or put a wrapped box inside of a wrapped box inside of a wrapped box, etc, just to screw around with my sisters and me, so a little bit of tape has never really bothered me!
