Skinned behind in outhouse (7)

I believe the answer is:

shafted

'skinned' is the definition.
(both can mean to trick or deceive)

'behind in outhouse' is the wordplay.
'behind' becomes 'aft' (aft means towards or at the end of a ship).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'outhouse' becomes 'shed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'aft' placed inside 'shed' is 'SHAFTED'.

(Another definition for shafted that I've seen is " Swindled (slang)".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
