quick exterior door handle question

my pass side outside door handle is all floppy. I guess the spring in it is broke. It otherwise operates fine.

Will a new door handle like the ones on ebay come with a new spring?
I'm looking at the pic with the auctions and I don't see a spring.

also, I did a search and saw a thread where it talks about the door pins wearing out and causing the handle to break. I checked my doors and there is no play whatsoever.

Yes............. a new repop-china door handle will be complete and ready
to install. You can find them at most parts places usually in the Help/Dorman
section for less than $20 bucks.
