I have someone “trying” to send me money through PayPal. But they’re saying it can’t be completed unless I buy a gift card with a minimum of $10. Is that necessary? Do I need to buy the gift card to receive my payment?

No its a scammer, well known, they tell you that you need to send gift vouchers OR itunes vouchers or anything else before you can send money OR to verify your account.............load of rubbish, they just want that voucher and you will never get paid, delete the scammers.
