Basically no sellers I’ve seen whether their Pixels can have their boot loader unlocked. So how did you get yours and how can I avoid getting a lemon?

They are independent, but if it was originally carrier unlocked, you're definitely okay. The way I understand it, Swappa at least, only allows OEM unlocked phones to be sold as unlocked.
