I believe the answer is:

broker

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

'relatively impecunious dealer?' is the definition.
'broker' can be an answer for 'dealer?' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'relatively impecunious' bit.

'impecunious dealer?' is the wordplay.
'impecunious' becomes 'broke' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dealer?' becomes 'r' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'broke'+'r'='BROKER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broker that I've seen before include "One acts as an agent for others in buying and selling" , "A dealer in stocks and shares" , "Agent paid by commission" , "One buys and sells for others" , "Financial dealer" .)
