Is a business license required for selling goods online?

Hey guys,

I am kind of confused about what licenses etc are needed to open an online business or basically sell products online? This question is more targeted to those living in the US. I live in Virginia and the type of business would be Home Based which is how they categorize it. The requirements are stated that I need to fill out a 'zoning' form then a business license then a tax id. Does anyone have good knowledge on this stuff? I don't want to be a bad business and be breaking laws so I want to get this right. Thanks in advance.
