'overcharging' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'it's great to get away' is the wordplay.
'it's great' becomes 'ripping' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'away' becomes 'off' (synonyms).
'ripping'+'off'='RIPPING OFF'

'with' is the link.
