It depends what you mean.
If you are selecting US Item location and seeing results that appear to ship from the US, then the search is working as intended. If you purchase from a listing that says it ships from the US, and it actually ships from overseas, the seller has lied to you (and eBay) about the item's location. Not much eBay can do in advance to prevent that from happening, though eBay can punish the seller after-the-fact.
You can often avoid sellers that may be lying by noticing certain indications -- like a mismatch between the seller's location and the item's location, specific feedback comments, long shipping times -- that point to items possibly coming from overseas despite what is shown in the listing.
If you are selecting US Item location and seeing results listed as shipping from China and Hong Kong, then either something is broken or you are scrolling past the end of the results into the results "from eBay international sellers" that eBay may append to your original US results.
