I believe the answer is:

stall

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

This could be a double definition.

'delay' is the first definition.
(stalling is a kind of delaying)

'trader's stand' is the second definition.
'stall' can be an answer for 'stand' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'trader's' bit.

'getting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stall that I've seen before include "Cowshed or stable" , "(Of engine) stop running; booth" , "Booth; prevaricate" , "Hang back" , "Kiosk" .)
