'one of those stockists' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'school magazine gets first refusal' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 's'.
'magazine' becomes 'elle' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'first' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'refusal' is 'r'.
's'+'elle'+'r'='SELLER'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seller that I've seen before include "Trader" , "Resell to vendor" , "Person making sale" , "One who disposes of" .)
