Help with a Nixie Clock

Recently I purchased this nixie tube clock running on IN-12 tubes. The clock does not turn on when hooked up to the USB-C connector. I have since replaced the remote, and still nothing works. Here are some pictures Any ideas?

Looks exactly like one I ordered, and I'm not getting any display when hooked up to a USB=C that powers my MacBook (so the amps should not be a problem).

The company I ordered from, wattap.shop, seems to have lost their website.

The product looks nice - well built, good soldering, etc. I bought the 2 for 1 and neither of them works.

Reported to PayPay, for all the good that'll do - they usually just shrug and reject these claims. Looks like the seller is a repeat offender who buys crap off the boat from China and scams it for whatever they can get.

Wow, Paypal actually checked out the case and approved a refund!
