Online wallets, such as inputs.io, require you to pay a fee, but transactions occur instantly. Is there any way to not pay fees (probably by delaying payments)?
Can you delay transactions so that you pay no fees?

Transaction fees will always be expected by the network unless your order meets these conditions
- It is smaller than 10,000 bytes.
- All outputs are 0.01 BTC or larger
- Its priority is large enough (meaning it has been on hold for a very long time)
you can also mine your own transactions, but as a general rule if your expecting someone to process your order for you, then they expect something in return, even if that something is only 0.0001 BTC.
It entirely depends on whether the wallet provider allows it. inputs.io doesn't seem to - there is no API for it anyway. – Alistair Buxton – 2013-09-02T19:11:47.057
Keep in mind that even if someone accepts a transaction as having occurred instantly, it still takes a while for it to be accepted into the block chain, and there isn't a [good or reliable] way to rush this.Once the transaction has gone through, it could still be reversed if there is a fork in the block-chain, but the more confirmations a transaction has, the less likely this is to happen. Also, inputs.io is likely paying a fee, but by bundling many payments into one transaction, they fee is relatively small compared to each individual payment so they just pay it for you. – John Henry – 2013-09-03T00:34:57.343
