I believe the answer is:

fee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'can it make' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'feel robbed of pounds?' is the wordplay.
'robbed of' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'pounds?' becomes 'l' (L can represent the monetary pound).
'feel' with 'l' taken away is 'FEE'.

'you' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fee that I've seen before include "Cost" , "Money paid for professional services" , "Sum payable to professional person for services" , "Charge for professional services" , "Amount paid for job" .)
