Can it make you feel robbed of pounds? (3)

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 tell whether this defines the answer.

'feel robbed of pounds?' is the wordplay.
'robbed of' is a deletion indicator.
'pounds?' becomes 'l' (currency sign).
'feel' with 'l' taken out 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" .)
