I am trying to buy gift cards from an individual I do not know. I want to be sure I receive the cards before my paypal payment goes to her. Is there a way to do this thru PayPal?

Paypal does not provide escrow and no seller would send an item before being paid.
You need to read up on paypals buyer protection policy so you can risk assess your transactions.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
