I have some very good video game ideas, but I don't know if I can sell them or not, if I can sell them, could someone give me a place where people would look at my idea to see if they would buy it, but a place where they wouldn't steal my idea.

I think you should just start working on them. The ideas in themselves aren't the only thing that will sell the game - how it looks and how it plays will be a major contributing factor. I would think this website would be reasonably trustworthy overall on the not-stealing-of-ideas thing, but I've never really had any proper game ideas so I wouldn't know. Really developing your idea yourself, and deciding whether you think it's something YOU would pay for would be one of the best ways to go about it.

the unfortunate thing for me is, is that the amount of ideas and work that would need to be put into this project would need the best engines, and a highly proffesional dev. team, I think my idea is a little to advanced for a solo dev with only FPS Creator

and what makes you think they'd want do all that work for your idea and then pay you for the privelage?

The simple truth is, if you want something done do it yourself.
If you don't have the time or expertise to make it into a game, why not write a story around the idea. You can't do any harm to it and you'll be able to flesh out the idea and remove parts that don't work.
You'll either end up with a good story or an improved game idea.
Ideas are worthless if they remain ideas (did I coin a phrase there? ), write them down and play around with them. Even if they turn out to be bad ideas you still get practice at having ideas (yes you really can get better at having ideas) and expanding on them.

Get DBPro, spend a few years becoming accustomed to it, and you should be able to bring all these ideas of your's to fruition yourself.

I'm working on Swordfight again! Come tell me what you think!
