I believe the answer is:

outbid

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

'the lot this way' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'confused but i do' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'but'+'i'+'do'='butido'
'butido' anagrammed gives 'OUTBID'.

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outbid that I've seen before include "Offer more than (another in auction)" , "Offer more for something than (another person)" , "Offer more then competitors at auction" , "Make a higher offer than another" , "But I do (anag)" .)
