You can buy all kinds of cups and nipples from ebay if you search around a little so it would be hard for us to know exactly which one you have. But as MeanV2 said, they are designed, all of them, to work with less than 5 PSi of water pressure so they will not work hooked directly to you house source of water. You either have to feed the cups from a bucket -you can put a float in one and hook that to the house- or use a inline regulator to control the pressure. Most people do it with a bucket or similar water reservoir. Most likely the ebay store where you bought the cups also has a regulator set-up for sale as well, check with them.
Personally I like using a reservoir and keeping it full as compared to using a regulator from the house water source. It just seems safer and there is less of a chance it could rupture somewhere and water run all night or a weekend when your visiting grandma. Keep searching around in this forum and you will see many different set ups and all it takes to make one work successfully is imagination and the right parts.
This is the kind of Pressure Reducing Valve, (click the link) you will need to make your system work on house pressure, the same company sells an adapter to connect directly to 1/2" PVC. The price of these two items is one reason most folks use a bucket or reservoir type system.
